Jo has recorded three albums to date.

Together Jo and Anne-Louise’s voices blend beautifully together in song ,evoking and expanding on the folk tradition. They both share a love of song, particularly of the sea and traditional love ballads – each melody casts a spell to enchant their audience and transport them to a cosy fireside or a windy clifftop.
