Nancy Kerr & James Fagan

Traditional and Contemporary Folk Music from England and Australia


Twice winners “Best Duo” BBC RADIO 2 FOLK AWARDS (2003, 2011)


Nancy Kerr is the 2015 “Folk Singer of the Year” (BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards)

What a wonderful night we had with these two! I won't wax lyrical about them here as there is no need. If you were there, you know. If you weren't.... well, look out for the next time they might come - and certainly check them out on their next trip to Devon.

Surprise of surprises was the notice in 'i' (the Independent's smaller sister) on the night, on the page Arts Agenda 'The Cultural Highlights You Have To See'

"Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to sing at The Cafe on the  Green - a truly splendid venue and a lovely audience! And a nice fry-up, too!" - James Fagan

(Fry-up the following morning at Langworthy Farm.)

Comments from Widecombe Sailors:

"What a great night! Thanks very much for all your hard work in organising it.
There was a really positive atmosphere and everybody seemed relaxed. Nancy and James were superb of course. I didn't hear any complaints about the food.
I have to say that you're settling in to the compere role nicely too!" - Mark

"Just to say …..really good evening yesterday..
I thought them first rate …not least for just the two of them to carry a whole evening .
Look forward to the next one !" - Ros.

"What a brilliant evening Daf - thanks to your wonderful organising - thank you so much! We had a really great time, and the music was just exceptional - we loved it. How can the WSC follow that??" - Carole

"Hi Daf
Just wanted to say how very much we enjoyed yesterday evening and to thank you all for putting it on. All the best,
Jackie"

"Thanks for yet another wonderful W.S. Club "DO" at the Café.  It was a cracking evening and I think James & Nancy enjoyed as much as we all did. PS  Please thank Edward & his team for a lovely buffet. " Front Row Frances.

 "I bought the Melrose Quartet CD after the gig, and it is one of the best folk music albums that I have heard for a very long time, if anyone is wondering what to buy for the person who has everything (or even themselves!), I would urge you to fork out a tenner (possibly more inc. P&P) for this CD.
PS: a gold star to Daf for booking these guys." - Ian
