The Poozies have been lighting up the folk scene since 1991 with their unmistakable blend of virtuosity, originality, and sheer joy in performance. First propelled to wider acclaim through their standout appearance on Shetland Sessions, filmed at the legendary Shetland Folk Festival, they quickly built a reputation for thrilling live shows and globe-spanning tours.At the heart of the band is the unmistakable sound of Mary Macmaster’s electro-harp paired with Eilidh Shaw’s expressive fiddle, creating a rich and dynamic foundation. Over the years, a host of celebrated musicians have passed through the lineup, helping shape the band’s ever-evolving sound while staying true to their roots in folk tradition.
After a quieter period, the band roared back to life with renewed creativity, bringing in fresh talent and releasing the acclaimed album Punch—a bold, genre-bending collection packed with attitude, humour, and stunning musicianship. Their music effortlessly shifts from delicate, atmospheric arrangements to high-energy, foot-stomping tunes.
Now entering an exciting new chapter, the addition of powerful guitar and driving rhythms has transformed their live show into a full-bodied, festival-ready experience. Expect soaring melodies, infectious grooves, and a performance that’s as emotionally rich as it is exhilarating.
Whether you’re a long-time fan or discovering them for the first time, The Poozies promise a night of unforgettable music that pushes folk into thrilling new territory.
