Three Idle Women

The Three Idle Women were forged by a shared love of the Oxford Canal and a fondness for close harmony singing, folk music and stories that are carried through song. Working together since 2013, the trio share their diverse musical skills, instrumentation and an intimate knowledge of the life on, and along, the Canal.

They have been, writing new material, re-arranging older songs and spreading their infections fondness for the canal and the waterways. The trio are not merely traditional folk singers, they are interested in quirky instrumentation, rich vocal harmonies and strong stories which emerge from the heritage and history of the canal.
