GUILDHALL FOLK: NANCY KERR & JAMES FAGAN, LES BARKER, LUCY WARD
May, 21 Fri 8:00pm
Featuring:
NANCY KERR & JAMES FAGAN – Nancy, with her distinctive singing and exquisite fiddle style, and James, with his powerful singing, dynamic and skilful use of the flat backed bouzouki and mandolin, enthral their audiences whenever they perform. Proud of their roots, this Northumbrian lass and the lad from Oz with a twinkle in his eye, have such a finely honed act, they never fail to please.
LES BARKER – A very funny man indeed, he writes weird and wonderful poems many of which have spawned what can only be described as folk heroes: Jason and the Arguments, Cosmo the Fairly Accurate Knife Thrower, Captain Indecisive and Spot of the Antarctic to name but two! Les, the folk scene’s hilarious “Poet”, became a “Professional Idiot" quite recently.
LUCY WARD - This young Derbyshire singer-songwriter on guitar was a success at last year’s Derby Traditional Music & Arts Festival and was finalist at the 2009 BBC Young Folk Awards. Her work, steeped in folk tradition, offers a youthful new edge, with amazing crystal-clear vocals. "Lucy Ward …represents the evocation of a spirit and style I once remembered brought bang up to date" … John Tams
