Peddars Way
Peddars Way was formed as a duo in August 2022 when Sharon asked Chris to accompany her at a musical get together at The Running Horse in Fakenham. They had met each other at the regular folk music night there.
Since then, in addition to gigs and showcases, they have performed at Deepdale Festival, Cambridge Folk Club, and been guests on West Norfolk Radio.
Guitarist/vocalist Chris and vocalist Sharon have been joined by pianist Dan, a member of Chris' former band The Lighters, who brings an extra layer to the vocal harmonies.
• A bit about us •
Chris Moorhouse
Chris is an experienced guitarist and vocalist, as well as composer and lyricist. Most of his life has been devoted to his pursuit of music and much of the material performed by Peddars Way has been written by Chris. In his former band, The Lighters, Chris was joined by his wife Giselle.
Chris also performs with Bandwidth and Random ID.
Daniel Thomas Fuxa Roe
Daniel started playing piano when he was eight, quickly progressing through practical and theory grades. He has many years' experience despite his youth and has a repertoire that stretches from the Baroque era through to modern pop music and covers all genres.
Dan was an integral member of The Lighters Band before joining Peddars Way.
Sharon Clifton
Sharon began singing in 2014 after a friend bought her a singing lesson. Her fear of singing in public dissolved and she finally realised her dream of singing in a band.
Often heard at folk nights, open mics, and sing-around sessions around Norfolk and Fenland, Sharon has continued to develop her singing style.
Sharon also performs with The Fried Pirates
A rare photo of Peddars Way as a trio
Peddars Way perform as a duo or a trio depending on availability, the size of the venue and the nature of the booking. From time to time, Peddars Way are joined by other musical guests.
