Anne Lister and Mary McLaughlin worked as a duo 20 years ago. Now Mary lives in California but in 2009, they got together and it came back together - so much so that they are doing so again. Their performances combine Anne’s & Mary’s songs with traditional songs from Britain & Ireland: strong voices in harmony and thoughtful arrangements.
