HEN PARTY |
|
Folk Harmony Group Hen Party was formed in 1995, when Sarah Morgan and Alison Muir (former members of Bread and Roses) teamed up with Heather Bradford to form a combination which became renowned not only for superb harmony singing, but also for an ability to communicate with and entertain an audience. Heather’s stylish lead vocals, Alison’s sumptuous alto voice, and Sarah’s unerring sense of harmony combined to produce a sound that was unique and highly enjoyable. The group ceased in 2003 with Alison's untimely death.
Both surviving members of Hen Party may be contacted as below and whilst it is early days, a new grouping Craig; Morgan; Robson(Moira Craig, Sarah Morgan and Carolyn Robson) has already emerged, not as a successor, but as a new use for the talents of the three ladies concerned (all of whom are solo performers in their own right).
