The Wilson Family is an instantly recognisable and unfailingly popular feature of the English folk festival and club scene, consisting of sister Pat and brothers Tom, Chris, Steve, Ken and Mike, all members of the same family from Teesside in the North East of England. Like other family groups such as the Watersons and the Coppers – both of whom remain major influences – The Wilsons have an instinctive mutual understanding and the sheer power of these five voices is awesome.
“They have synthesised the qualities of all their major influences, which sets them apart as one of the foremost harmony groups entertaining folk audiences today” – Roy Harris
