They have also been featured on the Fatea showcase album for Spring 2019, and are busy recording their first EP, due for release in May.
This seasons programme, ‘Loving Folk,’ draws on a wide range of a cappella singing traditions from simple shaker songs to gutsy blues, from male voice choir to the sweet music from the Appalachian Mountains. Ensembles, trios and the full throated power of 35 singers bring you a varied and beautiful song collection.

With fantastic singing, beautiful song collections and an informal style, this acclaimed Dartmoor choir will leave a marked impression on both new and faithful audience members.
