Join us on Saturday 15th February at 5pm for All Hands Together, a captivating evening of music, storytelling and canal‑side heritage brought to life by the talented trio Three Idle Women.

About the Show

Three Idle Women are known for their beautiful close harmony singing and the way they weave stories through song. In All Hands Together, they take audiences on a musical journey through time, travelling the UK’s waterways and sharing snapshots of life from the perspective of boaters — past and present.

Their performances explore themes of place, nature and community, blending high‑quality music with interactive storytelling, visuals, film and even a Krankie (a delightful storytelling contraption!). Whether you have a connection to the canals or not, their show is full of warmth, humour and heart — celebrating the fragility and preciousness of life.

About the Artists

Having worked together since 2013, Three Idle Women released their debut album in November 2024 and have since been featured on:

• BBC Radio 2’s Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe

• Fatea’s Winter Showcase

• Channel 4’s Narrow Escapes (May 2025)

• Folk radio stations across the UK

Their live shows are playful and engaging, often encouraging audience sing‑alongs and even a bit of friendly heckling!
