Deutsch and Anne Price have been singing together for the past two
years. They met through the Folk Music Society of New York’s Facebook
page, and quickly discovered they lived across the street from one
another. Anne, a Bronx native, has been an active member of the Folk
Music Society for many years. She has been singing folk songs since
childhood, and performing them publicly since her college days in the
1960s. She has performed at many venues in the New York area and
throughout the Northeast, as well as in the United Kingdom. Rita, who
grew up in New York City but lived in Florida for many years, has been
playing guitar and singing since her early teens. She had been active
in folk music venues at the Broward Folk Club for over a decade. before
returning to the Big Apple in 2009. Rita and Anne sing harmonies on old
favorites by such songwriters as John Denver, Bill Staines, Kate Wolf,
and Carole King, along with some less known gems.

Widely acclaimed for their lively and entertaining presentations of
English folk songs, John Roberts and Tony Barrand have performed at
major festivals, colleges, clubs and coffeehouses throughout the US,
Canada, and their native Britain. They sing the ballads and songs of
rural pursuits, of social and sociable situations, of industrial toil
and strife, of the sea and much more, typically arranging their
material thematically to better illustrate the lives and the social
history of the people who made and sang the songs. Their songs are
punctuated with tales, monologues and dance tunes, giving a more
complete appreciation of the diversity, and vitality of the English
folk tradition.

presented by Kathy Wallis. Kathy is a singer, storyteller and keeper of
the tradition. She is a teachers' union officer who is deeply involved
with the folk community in her native Kernow (Cornwall). Over the
years, Kathy has developed an extensive knowledge of Cornish folklore,
including the songs, stories, and rituals indigenous to the region. Her
home, a 16th century farm cottage, has become a hub of folkloric
activity where seasonal celebrations such as the Crying of the Neck
still take place as they did hundreds of years ago. She is coming to
America to share these songs, stories, and rituals with us.
