Nancy Kerr and James Fagan

Nancy Kerr and James Fagan 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.

Australian songwriter, traveler and raconteur Fred Smith will be playing NZ venues in support of his CD Bagarap Empires and the documentary film Bougainville Sky about his work in peace-keeping missions in conflict zones of the South Pacific.
“Smith is a superb songwriter with a wry sense of humour and a wonderful eye for the idiosyncrasies of modern life”
Bruce Elder, Sydney Morning Herald – 17th Nov 2007
“His CD was good, but his live performance blew me away.”
