Formed in 1990 following a collaboration between Patsy Seddon and Mary Macmaster, of Scottish harp duo Sileas, and singer Sally Barker, The Poozies are Britain's premiere female folk supergroup.
Originally joined by all-Ireland accordion champion Karen Tweed and fiddler Jenny Gardiner, the band have enjoyed critical acclaim as one of the most joyous and life affirming acts on the folk scene, playing a mix of traditional and contemporary English and Scottish acoustic music with trademark spine-tingling close vocal harmonies.
They were joined for two years in 1996 by Kate Rusby, before her meteoric rise to stardom via the Mercury Awards swept her away from the group to be replaced by Highfield Band fiddler Eilidh Shaw and, more recently, accordionist and piper Mairearad Green.
Comprising five members, each with astonishing virtuoso pedigree, The Poozies are masters of heart stopping instrumentals and breathtaking harmony songs.

Selby Town Hall is an award winning arts centre, located in a prominent position at the end of Selby's main street, Gowthorpe. The intimate venue, with a seating capacity of 150, hosts world class performances from across a range of art forms including theatre, music, dance and comedy.
Built as a Methodist chapel in 1862, the venue ceased operating as a place of worship in August 1956. For several years following it was used as a tyre depot, but the building was eventually left derelict and fell into disrepair in the late 80s. In 1992, Selby Town Council bought and renovated the premises which now houses the Town Council offices as well as the main performance space and a smaller studio room.
