STRANDS OF GOLD: "The mix of Northumbrian and Australian material works beautifully, and they have the instrumental chops to match their impressive voices (both together and alone) --With an excellent balance between songs and tunes, this is an album that never puts a foot wrong..." emusic.com

"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!"

Welcome to the official website of Nancy Kerr and James Fagan, the winners of the 2003 BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for Best Duo. This well-loved duo combine highly skilful and innovative performance with accessibility, warmth and stage presence. Rarely are duos so full in sound; Nancy’s earthy and exquisite fiddle and viola playing dances with the striking rhythmic texture of James’s guitar-bouzouki, while their rich singing both as soloists and in harmony evokes the stories of the songs they choose and write. They approach their music with energy and infectious smiles. Rapid musical communication with one another and the audience makes their performance spectacular and unforgettable.
