About Me

Foxtail Soup is a three-person group with a repertoire including a capella and accompanied traditional songs and shanties, mixed with contemporary material.

We can be found performing both collectively and individually at the Somers Traditional Folk Club in Worcester, on most Friday evenings, and also at a seemingly ever increasing number of sessions around Worcestershire and Herefordshire.
