The Hoy’s 55th Birthday with Nancy Kerr and James Fagan

  • Estuary Club 1386 London Rd, Southend-on-Sea, SS9 2UJ (map)

A very special evening to mark the Hoy’s 55th birthday.

Nancy Kerr and James Fagan are renowned for their extraordinary musicianship, traditional singing and instrumental playing, acclaimed original compositions and visceral chemistry. They met in December 1995, and formed the duo and life partnership that has become the backbone of their professional career in music ever since. They won the inaugural Horizon Award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2000, and were also the first ever recipients of the Best Duo Award, which they won in 2003, and again in 2011. Nancy is a simply outstanding writer of songs, one of England’s best-known folk fiddle players and in 2015 won Folk Singer of the Year at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. James was born in Australia and raised in a folk-singing family The Fagans. He is a multi-instrumentalist and singer, specialising in bouzouki, guitar and mandolin.
