The Dollymopps are Virgil & Dorana Philpott and Justin Smith. They sing songs in harmony from the folk tradition of Southern England – in particular, songs collected from their native Isle of Wight. They have been singing together since 2005, during which time they have drawn favourable comment from the likes of Shirley Collins, Keith Kendrick and Heather Wood (of the Young Tradition).
They started out as Copper Family aficionados but have long since developed a very individual sound based upon rare source material, inventive arrangements and occasional use of open-tuned guitar accompaniments. Their first CD “Long Songs” was released in May 2011. It features traditional English folksongs from the collection of Nineteenth-Century Islander, W. H. Long.
