An Evening with Three Idle Women
** THIS EVENT IS POSTPONED** to recieve an update about the revised date please email stephpirriemusic@gmail.com
One of our performers is unable to perform due to being unwell, not Covid fortunately, and as we are a close harmony group each one of us matters. We look forward to seeing you next time!
The Three Idle Women were forged by a shared love of the Oxford Canal and a fondness for close harmony singing, folk music and stories that are carried through song. Working together since 2013, the Oxford trio bring their diverse musical skills, instrumentation and an intimate knowledge of life on, and along, the Oxford canal.
The first time post-lockdown that' we’ve performed in public, we can’t wait to share an evening of memories and wonderful songs with you.
TICKETS from £10, family £30
