Saturday 11 February 2012. 8pm (Doors 7.15pm)
Nancy Kerr and James Fagan
One of the most established and respected duos on the folk scene, Nancy Kerr and James Fagan are winners of the 2011 BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for Best Duo (and previous winners of 2003 Best Duo and 2000 Horizon Award.) As well as being great exponents of their instruments (fiddle, viola and guitar-bouzouki) both are regarded as fine and influential singers. 2010 marked the 15th year of this electrifying duo. In that time they have toured full-time and headlined festivals throughout the UK, Ireland, Europe, Australia, Japan and Canada. Wherever they play, Kerr and Fagan make new friends and fans, as their love of live performance is tangible and affirming.
Nancy, with her distinctive singing and exquisite fiddle and viola style, and James, with his powerful singing, dynamic and skilful use of the flat backed bouzouki and mandolin, enthral their audiences whenever they perform. Proud of their roots, this Northumbrian lass and the lad from Oz, with a twinkle in his eye, have a so finely honed act, they never fail to please.
