Gracenotes

Gracenotes are Maggie Boyle (vocals, flute, bodhran), Lynda Hardcastle  (vocals) and Helen Hockenhull (vocals, keyboard).

Gracenotes perform a cappella and accompanied arrangements of traditional and contemporary songs in three-part harmony. Now in their thirteenth year together, their highly-praised harmonies and thoughtful repertoire make them one of the folk scene’s best-loved female groups. Individually they have a much longer history of live performances and recording sessions with Nic Jones, the Chieftains, Mountain Ash Band, John Tams, Bert Jansch, New Victory Band and Muckram Wakes, to name just a few.

Their first album “Down Falls the Day” was released in 1994. They have produced two further CDs, “Red Wine and Promises” and “Anchored to the Time”, on the Fellside label. A new collection, “Northern Tide” is due for release on Fellside Recordings, Summer ’07.
