Ruth and Sadie have both been heavily influenced by traditional song from a very early age.
They sing 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.
Ruth provides the occasional concertina accompaniment.
For the past few years their spine tingling sibling harmonies have become increasingly in demand at folk
clubs, and festivals. Ruth Price's Web Site
