Event information
If you're a fan of The Dixie Chicks, Eva Cassidy, Emmylou Harris etc., then this is a show not to be missed. The Haley Sisters, Jo-Ann and Becky, are one of Britain's most awarded country music duos. They were joined in 1993 by the Nashville-honed skills of guitarist Brian Smith, who worked with Crystal Gayle.
With their sisterly harmonies, much-lauded by country music's Maverick magazine, The Haleys have been referred to as the "female Everlys". A magical blend of vocal harmonies, dazzling flat-picking and slide guitar, coupled with warm, funny stage banter that has delighted audiences for over two decades, the group have performed at clubs, theatres, festivals and events across the UK, Ireland and Europe. They are natural entertainers and their repertoire includes traditional country, pop hits and new-style alt-country.
In 1996 they won the Best UK Group/Duo award in the Great British Country Music Awards. The following year, they formed their own record label, Comet Records, and have five albums under their belt. Their first album 'The Sweetest Gift' received national airplay, including Bob Harris and Aled Jones on BBC Radio 2.
