"she tackles largely traditional song with a full-blooded ardour that‘ll come as a shock to those weaned on the flaky New Age nonsense sold to us as Celtic music through most of the ’90s. Boyle gets right inside the songs in the uncompromising manner of the best storytellers.” - Colin Irwin, fROOTS

THE MAGICAL CHRISTMAS TREE TOUR
FEATURING
PETE MORTON MAGGIE BOYLE AND CHRIS PARKINSON
& special guest Geoff Chaucer Junior
Every December, three of the finest folk performers go around the Country with their magical Christmas tree! Perfect for your folk club or village hall, with plenty of audience participation. Scrolls are picked from the tree to reveal the next song or tune.
A fun and spontaneous night for everyone, especially Maggie, Chris and Pete, who quite literally don’t know what they are going to do next…but they do it well!
Through the year, this quintet of performers presents “This Programme Is Morally Good”, the story of The Carter Family. As Winter rolls around, they cast their net a little wider along America’s Eastern mountain chain. This seasonal show explores the music and customs of what Ralph Stanley has called “the birthground of American folk music.”
