| Welsh, French & English Folk Singing |
Rob Fuke and Millie Dolan are both well versed in the folk music of their respective traditions:
Rob Fuke, singer-guitarist of Anglo-Scottish origin has diverse musical influences. He has played in various groups all over Europe. A founder member of the Celtic Reelers with Ian McCamy and Roger Morand, he has also recorded with Robert Crumb.
Millie Dolan, of Cornish-Irish stock, grew up in Wales, ‘the land of song’. As a child she sang in choirs before moving on to folk and country music. She performs regularly with the Occitan actress, Annette Clément, which has allowed her to add songs in Occitan, Catalan, Piedmontaise and Italian to her repertoire.
Together, Rob and Millie perform folk music from Britain and also the United States, much of which has its origins in the songs of immigrants from Europe.
