Floorspots welcome.


Aimee was brought up in Orkney and sang in the very first Orkney Folk Festival at the age of thirteen . Since then she has made a career from performing and teaching folk music.


She toured and recorded several CDs with the pan-celtic band Anam, and during her time with them played at most of the UK, Canadian and Australian major folk festivals including several trips to Japan for JVC records.


She is also a singing/vocal coach and choir leader and presently leads the Dulwich Folk Choir and The EFDSS workshop choir at Cecil Sharp House. She also plays and teaches Bodhran ? her bodhran was made by her parents at Belgarth Bodhrans.


Aimee regularly gets involved in community singing projects and also teaches voice at LSBU on their Performance and Drama degree course.


Emmie grew up steeped in the folk tradition as she has family on both sides who are folk musicians. She plays the flute and is a traditional singer with a soulful voice ? she recently won the trad2mad Islington folk club folk singer of the year competition.


Emmie works as a special needs music teacher and has been involved in many projects enabling students to access and enjoy folk and world music. In recent years she has started to perform and collaborate with other singers and musicians. She is also working on a project called ?Captain Swing and the Blacksmith? a ?folk opera? that fuses literature and music.


Aim?e and Emmie met at the SELfolk orchestra and they formed a duo, sharing favourite songs over long lunches !




Here?s a clip of Emmie with the song with which she won 2014?s Islington Folk Club?s TradToMad competition. Congratulations, Emmie!

    • Nauris and his team have done fantastic work in our garden for the second year. Last year, they sanded, oiled the deck and did an immaculate job of paving the area around the deck. Then two weeks ago, I asked Nauris if he could build a garden shed, sand and oil the deck and paint and repair the fences. Again, another excellent job and he was great at fitting in a couple of small fixes. We are really pleased with the shed which is well made and painted and blends in well to the garden. Nauris is really respectful and always left everything tidy in the evening and spotlessly clean at the end of the job. Nauris also provided a clear quote for the work at the beginning.  I recommend Nauris Graudins (and his team) very highly - [email protected]  
    • So who actually checks that the above is followed - are there going to be "surprise" inspections ?
    • We have used Aria and AFE Plumbing for many years on a number of jobs - installing new taps and showerhead, unblocking pipes.  He is always quick to respond and able to swiftly attend to the issue, easy to communicate with, and makes sure the job gets done. Definitely recommended. 
    • Well you've said i'm taking a pro cash stance too far. Perhaps not twisting- i used the wrong words but you are putting words in my mouth no? I'm not one for tech, that's for sure but how do you come to the conclusion i'm pro cash? I merely pointed out that cashless and using cards / card readers/ oyster readers/ and other terminals etc aren't risk free. If i was pro cash i wouldn't be using a card on occasions. Indeed. You can say that again. Irony and self awareness not your strong point is it? Indeed. Just as well you're not the judgemental type hey!!   What a strange and arrogant entity you are.
