We are having some music and lots of beer more details to follow.We welcome the return of
Nancy Kerr and James Fagan
Nancy and James are one of the best-known, most highly regarded folk duos on the British circuit. Nancy has few equals as a singer, songwriter, and fiddle player. James is an astoundingly talented and in-demand bouzouki player, guitarist, and singer. Twice winners of the BBC Folk Award for Best Duo, their performances together are astonishing for their outstanding musicianship, energy.
We also have,
Hodmadoddery
Hodmadoddery came together (and usually fell apart shortly afterwards) in a residency at a notorious Bath cider house where we got paid in Cheddar Valley (for connoisseurs). This was some time in the late 1980s. By the early ‘90s we were actually getting quite good, the positive effects of switching to wine on the European Street Festival circuit, where we get called ‘mitico’ and even get invited back.
Nowadays we don’t run around Europe quite as much as we used to, but that has allowed us to get some practice in, and we actually get to play indoors as well as some proper paid-for jobs, folk festivals even, and through dubious backstairs deals have clocked up 20-odd innings at Glastonbury. By dint of following our own furrow we don’t any more sound like anyone else (except when we want to) and make a set of folk circuit standards, trad numbers, and the odd random who’d-ha’-thought-it sound like they belong together and can even be ours (or even yours) for the duration.
