Ruth and Sadie were brought up in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire and were heavily influenced by traditional song from an early age. They have sung mainly unaccompanied songs from a wide repertoire, which includes: songs from their family tradition and West Yorkshire; songs which they have learned from the family’s associations with North America (Ruth was born in Canada); and some contemporary stuff. However, they have more recently been singing with the accompaniment of Lisa Oliver on harp and we are delighted to welcome all three back to the club
