The Luscombe Sisters – Becky and Polly – are a dynamic harmonising duo whose roots run deep in the folk tradition. Growing up surrounded by shanty singers and immersed in the vibrant world of folk music, they developed a natural love for singing and for the camaraderie of a good pub session. Their family heritage is steeped in song: daughters of Pete Luscombe (of the Portsmouth Shantymen, Ramskyte, and Wholehearted), they carry forward a legacy of powerful harmony and maritime tradition, while bringing their own youthful energy and style.

Together, Becky and Polly’s voices intertwine with an effortless warmth, whether performing traditional songs, shanties, or their own repertoire of close-harmony folk. They are also two-thirds of Alternative Quay, alongside Kevin Frost, where they revel in sea songs and shanties, continuing the family’s deep connection with maritime music.

With a sound shaped by both tradition and their own unique artistry, The Luscombe Sisters are fast establishing themselves as an exciting act on the folk scene. Expect heartfelt harmonies, infectious enthusiasm, and a true celebration of the joy of singing together.
