  • Description

    Distilled from the legendary groups of old, four voices of depth and maturity blend to give warmth and harmony to the English tradition. The Claque came together as a group in 2006, ironically in response to how excited they were at the performances they put together after being asked to sing at the funerals of two dear friends, Martin Bloomer and later, Cyril Tawney.

    Dave Lowry and Barry Lister sang as one half of Isca Fayre in the 1960s and '70s. Tom Addison was a member of the iconic Songwainers in the 1970s and again in the recently reformed line-up of the same group, with Barry. Sean O'Shea sang with Barry in Hollinmor, again in the 1970s.
