Coope Boyes & Simpson

Coope Boyes & Simpson was a British vocal folk trio formed around 1990 and remembered for their rich sound and often unusual vocal harmonies. The group comprised singers Barry Coope, Jim Boyes (formerly of Swan Arcade), and Lester Simpson. Almost all of their music was sung entirely a capella, although they occasionally used accordion, guitar and drums very sparingly on recordings. The trio performed a mixture of both traditional folk songs (though often creatively arranged), hymns and carols, and their own original compositions. Read more on Last.fm
