Amanda is a curator and performer of local folk songs. Her inspiration is the Somerset folk song repertoire collected by Cecil Sharp. Through song research and performance she celebrates song collectors such as Cecil Sharp, The Hammond Brothers and Alfred Williams, the original singers they collected songs from, showcases local folk songs and reunites people with their song heritage. Wherever in the world the songs are performed, there is one for every occasion.

Just some of the comments people have made about Amanda's performances.....

'The evening was full of education and an appreciation of history and the simple and quiet way of life. Throughout the evening various origins and meanings of songs were explained in loving detail, and each song a tale expressed through the sometimes haunting but often fun and cheeky vocals from the lead singer of Mrs Price's Parlour. '

   '....a charmingly jangly and upbeat set of folk songs focussing on stories about or told by women. From drunken maidens ringing up bar tabs, to sweet love stories and women holding up men at gunpoint to see if they’ve been faithful.... a mix of lovely, raucous and insightful snatches of folk from a woman’s perspective..'                                               .

'Amanda's voice swooped and dipped evoking the Somerset countryside across a range of songs including Sprig of Thyme and Foggy Dew. Songs strongly associated with the Mendips.'

'From our point of view your contribution was a crucial part of the
" Somerset Welcome " and gave a real boost to the whole event !!! ... we would both like to thank you so much for everything you did.'
