Nancy Kerr and James Fagan - Strands Of Gold

(March 2006) 12 tracks: BARBARA ALLEN * APRIL FRIEND * PETER THE CABBY * LOCKS and BOLTS * LADS OF ALNWICK * FAREWELL TO THE GOLD * THREE MAGPIES * NANCY TAYLOR'S * SONS OF LIBERTY * LOVELY NANCY * SATELLITE * THIRTY FOOT TRAILER.

English folk song with strength, clarity and character.

Nancy's fiddles and viola and James' bouzouki complement their voices very well in this combination of traditional and new songs.

Supple arrangements, neat backing work from five musicians sitting in, and a wide range of material - from Dorset to the Appalachians, from Britain's canals to the Australian bush.

"They make a big sound together and when they really begin to motor they swiftly develop a pretty unique sound". (Folk Roots)
