| Following a presentation at the International Folk Alliance in Nashville in 2003, Yvette and Michelle met up with the fantastic Gillette Brothers and sang an impromptu four part harmony rendition of ‘The larks they sang melodious’. |
Yvette’s attendance at the SAA (Society for American Archaeology) Conference in Austin, Texas, 2007 presented an opportunity to visit the famous Camp Street Store and possibly to sing. An invitation to perform from the Gillette Brothers was eagerly accepted and so a fun evening of Cowboy songs and Somerset folk songs was performed. What a treat!
