Willows Folk

12/9/2009 8:00 PM at Kerr Fagan Harbron
Arundel Football Club, Mill Road, Arundel, West Sussex, South BN18 9PA
Cost: £7.00

A superb new trio blending the talents of Nancy Kerr & James Fagan (recepients of two BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards including "Best Duo") with the masterful skills of folk superstar Robert Harbron! Nancy & James have a deserved reputation as one of the hottest acts around on the UK folk scene, a status built up over 10 years of constant gigging and recording - dynamic, engaging, entertaining and full of energy, in addition to being superb vocalists, Nancy’s super-charged, melodic fiddle playing is a perfect musical match for James’ strident-yet-subtle guitar-bouzouki. In 2008, Nancy & James teamed up with superb multi-instrumentalist Robert Harbron to add a new dimension to their sound - having worked with many of the folk scene’s finest, including Tim Van Eyken, Dr Faustus and The English Acoustic Collective, Robert’s concertina and guitar work is loved and admired by folk fans the world over, and when the newly-formed trio released their debut CD, "Station House", it received rave reviews. Stylistically, the trio blend the best elements of the traditional and contemporary folk scene from the UK, Ireland, Australia and America, and make a sound that no one who loves good music will want to miss!
