Shady has been part of the English folk scene since before she was born, and first sang in public aged five. Prue also started singing at 5 years old but laughs that at that point Shady wouldn't have been born yet! Nowadays Prue is gigging as a ceilidh caller around the country. They can both be found leading rousing, late night chorus songs with tankard in hand.. Prue and Shady met many years ago at Sidmouth Folk Festival and have been revelling in the joys of singing together ever since. They've been known to roam the streets of Sidmouth singing shanties for charity, but are more commonly found leading rousing, bawdy sessions in beer tents across the country
