Everything about The Poozies totally explained
The Poozies are an all-women band that produce folk music of
English and
Scottish traditions.
Biography
The Poozies formed in 1990.
Mary Macmaster (
harp) and
Patsy Seddon (
harp) were performing together as the duo
Sileas and worked with
Sally Barker (
guitar and vocals) on her solo album. Together they decided that an all-women folk group was a good idea, and when Barker met
Karen Tweed in
Hong Kong she agreed to join the project.
After the release of
Dansoozies (1993) and
Chantoozies (1995),
Sally Barker left the group in 1996 in order to start a family.
Kate Rusby joined the band as lead vocalist, and this lineup released one
EP,
Come Raise Your Head (1997), and a full-length album,
Infinite Blue (1998). However, as
Kate Rusby's solo career took off, she was replaced on vocals by
Eilidh Shaw, also an accomplished
fiddler.
In 2000 the band released
Raise your head: A Retrospective to celebrate ten years of The Poozies, and in 2003 released
Changed Days Same Roots. In 2006
Sally Barker rejoined the group to make it a five-piece, and they toured with this lineup until December 2007.
Karen Tweed left the band in December 2007, and was replaced by Mairearad Green from the band, the Unusual Suspects.
