about
Bill Whaley & Dave Fletcher is an English folk music duo, well known throughout their native county, Lincolnshire, both for their club work as a duo and as members of the Higgledy Piggledy band. With a fine blend of voices (now mellowed by thirty or more years of singing together), their selection of songs encompasses both ancient and modern accompanied in traditional style on English and duet concertina, harmonium, and melodeon. The pleasure they get from singing is obvious and since the release of their debut album "Their Fine Array" in 1996, they have taken their music further afield in the UK in clubs from Cornwall to Lancashire and the North East and festivals countrywide. They have been involved with Martyn Wyndham-Read's "Songlinks", appearing on the CDs and at the premiere concerts at Sidmouth festival and the CD launch concerts at Cecil Sharp House. Their fourth album "Fit For Reclining" received enthusiastic reviews and album number five "Acorn to Oak" is now available (see Discography) Discography ...Their Fine Array BILDA 001 1.
