The Poozies have been evolving for over a decade and the current members have brought the music back closer to their roots in traditional and Celtic music. Impressively imaginative treatment of traditional and contemporary tunes, glorious harmonies and uplifting performances have ensured the Poozies’ place at the forefront of the folk and roots music scene.
