As the sun set on another warm spring day, the village of Dufton came alive with the sweet sounds of American blues performed by the phenomenal Ma Bessie’s Prohibition Party. The hall was full of an enthusiastic audience some of which came from Murton where the band previously performed with Highlights a few years ago. Extra seating was needed meaning the hall was at its full capacity but Ma Bessie (aka Julia Titus) ensured everyone felt included and able to see her engaging facial expressions and rhythmic movement timed perfectly with the music.
The show began with smooth tunes such as: Nina Simone’s ‘I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free’ and ‘Summertime’ – the perfect soulful tune with relation to the recent weather. Interspersed amongst traditional blues there were some well known Gospel songs, and to mark the change of genre Julia wore an original 1920s gospel style hat. This really brought the passion behind the music right into the audience’s eyes and ears ...as the sequins

We hired Coral and Sam for my sisters festival themed hen do in July 2021 and they were amazing! They were very accommodating with our (two) change of dates and they were excellent in terms of communication - always very quick to reply to my many questions.
In terms of the music - wow wow wow! They catered to our taste perfectly, they were interactive with the 'crowd' and are both so very talented. We all had an amazing time and I would thoroughly recommend them for your celebration.
Thank you Coral and Sam! ????????
