Well, the group still consists of Sister Pat and Brothers Tom, Chris, Steve, Ken and Mike. They still record and release the odd album every now and again, the most recent being "Stocking Tops - The Wilson Family Live" (Pure records PRCD51) produced by the wonderful Mr Steve Rusby. They still sing traditionally orientated songs in unaccompanied harmony, like to have a bit of a laugh and wash it all down with a few odd pints. That's about it really, download that and you'll be fully updated!

Roy Harris
"Singing with the Wilson Family in your company, makes life so much easier!"
Louis Killen
"There's a musical honesty about them that links past and present together .They are among the people who go about singing traditional songs that really move me……They are what they are, they do what they do and they say what they say and it's very direct and I love that. They are not pretenders"
