Malc and Gill have more than 90 years experience between them of singing on the folk scene, and although they have only been performing as a duo for about ten years, have been an integral part of the Midlands folk scene singing solo and in various other line-ups since the sixties!

Malc Gurnham is an excellent singer, plays quite a variety of instruments (most of them with strings!) and is a highly regarded solo performer. 
He also can be found running singarounds and acting as an MC at many festivals throughout the country. 
He has played in numerous bands as well as a soolist, in both the "popular" and folk music scene, currently in addition to singing with Gill also is part of GLORISHEARS CEILIDH BAND, and THE MEN IN BLACK (the only Folk/60's band specially put together for a Folk Festival!) latterly he has also played in THE KATHERINE FEAR BAND, and appeared on recordings by a number of well know performers including the late JOHNNY COLLINS 
As well as performing Malc promotes many folk events - he is Festival Director of BEDWORTH FOLK FESTIVAL and the Organiser of BEDWORTH FOLK CLUB, one of the longest running clubs in the country, runs his own small recording studio FAT SAM MUSIC, and has presented his own Folk Music show on BBC Local Radio.
Gill Gilsenan started singing at The Corner House Folk Club in the 70's (Run at the time by Malc) with her partner and later to be husband BRYAN SUNDERLAND, as a duo they became quite popular around the Midlands folk scene under the collective name of "THE FLYING SUNDERLANDS" performing close harmony Contemporary songs and traditional songs, particularly those from Bryans native North-East of England, and regularly visited Newcastles' popular Bridge Folk Club. Sadly Bryan died in the 90's, and although frequenting the local folk venues Gill did very little singing for some years. She met up with Ace guitarist DAVE BENNETT and formed both a musical and personal partnership and performing as SPIRIT MEASURE became an integral part of the the Coventry Folk Music scene, running clubs and sessions at a multitude of venues around the City. 
Over the last few years Gill has got more involved in Malcs folk music promotions and now helps look after much of the administration of Bedworth Folk Festival.

As a duo Malc & Gill, not surprisingly with their backgrounds, have a wide diversity of material, both traditionally and contemporary based, and ranging from clever harmony work to humour and even a serious ballad or two, performed either a-capella or with Malcs pleasantly understated guitar accompaniment. 
Much of their material uses their own unique approach to arranging, and adaptation of tunes to help emphasise the meaning or sentiment of the lyrics.

I am an English singer, living since 1996 in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA. I was born in Hampshire, England on the edge of The New Forest, and then lived in North Oxfordshire for 25 years. There I was Squire and Foreman of The Adderbury Morris Men from the revival of the village dances in 1974, till I moved to the USA.
I have been singing all my life, but in recent years have been doing more since I have given up dancing.
I have recordings out on both Fallen Angle Music in Canada (see - http://www.ianrobb.com/)  and Forest Tracks Records in the UK - but that organisation has been wound up and no longer exists - I do still have some recordings but alas, very few.
