Welcome return of the two sisters from Lancashire, and of course Roger, a superb concertina player, solo and accompaniest.
For Mike Harding to be besotted by the new album is some measure of their place in English folk music.
And to hear them perform live at he Grove Inn, Leeds, is so much more special!

Trio Threlfall: June 12th 2009
From their own publicity:
Jane and Amanda Threlfall and Roger Edwards are passionate about the English tradition and their latest CD, Sweet Nightingale, is testimony to their commitment:
“I am besotted by the new album ... I think it's absolutely beautiful. Terrific songs and playing and really tight, unfussy arrangements. The girls are in great voice and the accompaniments are brilliant.” Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2
“They seem to understand the essence of the songs and despite their considerable instrumental and vocal abilities they give only what is appropriate and in proper measure.” Norman Wilson, Folk North West
And of their 2007 album, Revisited:
“Jane and Amanda ... lift the songs way above the pedestrian. [They are] equally at home without the aid of any instrumental safety net ... secure, relaxed harmony singing of the highest order.
Particular mention should be made of the concertina playing of Roger Edwards ... his ‘Double Lead Through’ must be one of the finest recordings of a dance tune ever.” Baz Parkes, English Dance & Song
And what you hear on their albums is what you get from their live performance, only they laugh and talk as well when it's live...
