GU4 (Guffaw) GU4 Guffaw

 

Unaccompanied english traditional song from Pete Burnham, Miggy Campbell, Karen Harris and Bill Wilkes

All established solo performers, the quartet is drawn together by friendship and a shared passion for both traditional style folk music and acappella harmony singing. The group's performance typically embraces a wide variety of material ranging from powerful chorus songs to sensitive ballads, all delivered with well crafted arrangements that are attracting new admirers with each outing. The songs are largely drawn from the tradition, but the repertoire also includes material from Peter Bellamy and contemporary writers such as Benny Graham, George Thomas and our own Miggy Campbell.

GU4's festival performances include Alcester, Bedworth, Belvoir Castle and Warwick and the group can be seen regularly on the midlands folk circuit
