Silk Purse brings together two strong and distinctive female voices in
powerful and haunting harmony. Sue and Lyndsey Rule have been
familiar faces on the Kent/Sussex folk circuit for many years as part of family folk group Pig’s Ear.
As Silk Purse, they give their own stamp to an eclectic mix of traditional, contemporary and self-penned material. Between them, they play an impressive range of instruments - guitar, bouzouki,
mandola, fiddle (Sue); flute, recorders, whistles, concertina, Northumbrian pipes (Lyndsey). Alternating the two lead voices with a-capella harmony, Silk Purse offer you the sweet and the silly, choruses and ballads, delivered with zest and style.
