NANCY KERR & JAMES FAGAN

 

"With a hush of magic, May gave us an act that proved to be one of the best performances ever witnessed at Folk On The Moor - and that's in a period of over 20 years! With a priceless blend of love and stunning talent, we sat in awe of the work of Nancy Kerr and James Fagan. Nancy had written a new piece, Break Your Fall, which was so utterly lovely, I felt unbidden tears rolling down my face. Their version of Farewell to the Gold made my soul race, too." Plymouth Herald 2007

 

" Nancy’s fluid style of fiddle playing sounds as if she was born with the instrument in her hands; delicate at times and then thoroughly dramatic the next and let’s make no mistake the intensity with which she plays shows a passion that any musician would die for. James likewise is in total command of his Sobell bouzouki-guitar providing driving rhythm or well placed clean picked notes that accentuate the intricacies of the melodies. As if that wasn’t enough, both are fine vocalists and their choice of songs is a lesson to every aspiring performer in how to construct a set-list. If you see them mentioned at a venue near you do yourselves a favour, cancel any prior commitment and enjoy a great night out – you won’t be disappointed!"
