The Straw Horses

Exciting news There are eight new folk songs being written at the moment and as soon as they are ready they will be uploaded. Thank you for continuing to listen to our songs. We hope that you enjoy them. xxx

Hi! A warm welcome to all listeners who love folk songs. The Straw Horses are a folk singing Duo based in the Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire counties in the UK. All the lyrics for the songs uploaded have been written by MavisEllen Jackson and Rob Bray. The music has been arranged and is played by Rob and he is one half of the Straw Horses. The female vocal is beautifully supplied by Corinne Stratton who is the other half of the Straw Horses. I will leave them to decide which one is the front and which is the back half! There are 9 songs on the Dorset Tales CD which funnily enough are about places and characters who lived in Dorset, which is also where I now live. The 12 songs on the Calendar CD are about a specific event, tradition or custom, one chosen for every month of the year. All the songs are regularly played on the local radio I do hope that you enjoy them. Best wishes MavisEllen Jackson
PS. I also have a page on N1M MavisEllen Jackson where 144 of my songs can be listened to which are an eclectic mix of non-folk songs
