  • folk- and traditionally-inspired musical duo from the North East of England
  • graduates of the Folk and Traditional Music BA at Newcastle University
  • have been taking the festival circuit by storm with their a Capella harmony quartet The Teacups for the past ten years, performing all over the UK and beyond.
  • duo work is met with accolades wherever they go
  • their debut album, ‘Beneath this Place’ has been critically lauded as ‘Distinctive’ and ‘Excellent’
We are pitching (see what we did there) Rosie and Will's workshops as a gentle inroduction to singing folk music - a genre rooted in tradition and less formal than notated music. Able to be learned by simply listening and giving it a go, folk music still allows one to develop a musical ear and to enjoy singing with other people. Rosie and Will's course at Higham has its roots in their popular locally-delivered shorter workshop 'A Season of Song', and gives a chance for others to learn from a pair of very talented singers without it being too scary!
Here is an example of some of our music so that you can get an idea of what it is Rosie and Will do! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm_tGmhtsN0
