Saturday 15th February, 11am – noon Barbara & Peter Snape, songs & melodeon
Peter and Barbara Snape are a very popular duo from the North West of England with a distinctly ‘northern’ repertoire.
Barbara’s versatile singing voice is full of character with both the sensitivity to move you with tales of hardship or love and the robustness to belt out invigorating, earthy songs with such confidence that you will feel compelled to join in. Peter’s well-crafted accompaniments on the melodeon give life to the songs and the occasional dance tune will certainly set your feet tapping.
