Music, Song, Dance, and Steam!

 

Andrew McKay and Carole Etherton

Andrew and Carole live in beautiful Gower, Carole having arrived there via Sussex and the 2004 Lancaster festival.  “We sing mainly traditional-style songs either with or without concertina accompaniment.  Also recently-composed songs which sound like they're traditional, some of which we write ourselves.  Also some Music Hall songs, and . . . well, anything we like, really.”
Andrew sings and plays the Crane Duet concertina.  He sang for several years as a member of Baggyrinkle - the Swansea Shantymen and writes songs for a hobby.
Carole was a resident at the Lewes Arms and Mid Sussex Folk Singers from where she was 'enlisted' into the Shellback Chorus in 2000 and sang at festivals in the UK & USA.  Carole also plays wooden flute and Victorian keyed wooden flageolet.
Both are members of Mudcat Café where Andrew is known a “Cranedriver” and Carole as “SussexCarole”.
They have released two CD’s – the first by Andrew is titled “Pennbucky to Llangenny” and the second by both of them is titled “Characters”. Both are available from www.chanteycabin.co.uk
