2005 All Hallow's Eve

Showcase

 Oak Ash & Thorn  is a traditional a cappella trio whose great sound has stood the test of time.  Doug, Dave & Tom have been delighting audiences for over 25 years with songs from England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Australia, America and parts unknown.  With songs ranging from the 16th to 20th centuries, the sound of Oak Ash & Thorn includes work songs, drinking songs, sea chanteys, love songs, stories and the remarkably rich, tight harmonies for which they've become known around the world. Take one part great audience chorus, add two parts irreverent humor, mix liberally with gorgeous harmony, and you have Oak Ash & Thorn-- traditional a cappella for the 21st century.
