Betty and Norman McDonald hail from the north-east of England (canny Newcastle) and sing a variety of Geordie, Scottish and American songs in harmony, some a capella, but most accompanied by banjo and guitar, or guitar and autoharp.

Having lived in Scotland for twelve years they now live in Southwest England in Slimbridge Gloucestershire and are well known in the area for their appearances at folk clubs and festivals. They are now free to travel extensively to bookings in all parts of Britain, and in April 1997 they make their fourth American tour of festivals, house concerts and coffee houses.

Two cassettes of their songs are available:

• Water of Tyne
• Cuddle In
