The Wilson Family is an instantly recognisable and unfailingly popular feature of the English folk festival and club scene. Born and bred in Billingham with the heavy industries of Teesside all around and the Durham coalfield to the North, the five Wilson brothers & sister Pat have developed a uniquely muscular approach to the art of unaccompanied harmony singing. Like other family groups such as the Watersons and the Coppers - both of whom remain major influences - The Wilsons have an instinctive mutual understanding. They sing as they feel, and the sheer power of these five voices is awesome. "There's a musical honesty about them that links past and present together. They are among the people who go about singing traditional songs that really move me……They are what they are, they do what they do and they say what they say and it's very direct and I love that. They are not pretenders" - Dick Gaughan |
