Serving up energetic musicianship, tight vocal arrangements and red-hot buckdancing, this is a kicking quintet. From the company who brought out the sell out shows Laura Boosinger and The Crooked Road, come and experience The Stairwell Sisters.
Boothby Graffoe. 8pm. 17 February 2007 Birnam Institute.
