Grace Notes perform a cappella and accompanied arrangements of traditional and contemporary songs in three-part harmony. Grace Notes will be celebrating their 20th Anniversary in 2012. Their highly praised harmonies and thoughtful repertoire make them one of the folk scene's best-loved female groups. Individually they have an even longer history of live performance and recording sessions with Nic Jones, The Chieftains, Mountain Ash Band, John Tams, Bert Jansch, New Victory Band & Muckram Wakes, to name only some.
