The Poozies play Tyneside  IT’S
15 years since the Poozies first hit the road and in that time they have
been ambassadors for women in folk music.
Since their formation the Poozies have enjoyed great success wherever
they have travelled — due largely to the spirit of joy in their
music.
They have always been masters of arranging music to suit the instrumentation-led
by the twin Harps of Patsy Seddon and Mary Mac Masters and the spine-chilling
close harmonies which intensify the songs.
Plus there’s the musical chemistry between Karen Tweed’s brilliant
accordion playing and Eilidh Shaw on fiddle as well as the singing of
Sally Barker.
The Poozies began their career in the 1990s after Patsy and Mary had been
working with Sally on her solo album.
They all agreed that a new women’s group was a good idea and when
Sally met Karen in Hong Kong the band was born.
The success of the Poozies is evidenced by their continued popularity
with audiences. They play to packed houses wherever they go.
All of the band members are impressive musicians and engage with the audience
from the outset.
Sheer ability underpins the ease and humour in their performances.
The Poozies are to appear on Tyneside to play at the Irish Centre on Thursday,
November 29 at 8pm for the final 2007 concert of the Tyneside Irish Cultural
Society.
Tickets are priced £7.50 and £5 and available from 0191
