Description
** Multi-award-winning duo release their first LIVE album **

The sixth Kerr Fagan duo album has been highly anticipated for years. Their fifth album "Twice Reflected Sun" helped win them "Best Duo" for the second time at the 2011 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Since then, they have moved to Sheffield, had two children, and formed Melrose Quartet. Nancy Kerr has made two solo CDs, won "Folk Singer of the Year" at the 2015 BBC Folk Awards and been a key part of multiple acclaimed collaborations. Fagan has recorded on three Cara Dillon albums, touring with her band and Bellowhead.

A live album was long overdue. Recorded over two consecutive nights at sellout shows in Kimpton Parish Church (Hertfordshire) and Crookes Social Club (Sheffield), "An Evening Withâ€¦" is the first chance to hear a top-class recording of this dynamic duo in their favourite environment - live on stage, playing for each other and their audience in a joyous, thrilling outpouring of music and storytelling.

The quality and clarity of both the performance and the production are abundantly evident. Nothing is added - what they played is what you hear. The energetic crowd reaction is thrilling, and on two particular tracks the combined power of Nancy, James and the audience singing in harmony is something to behold.

In some ways, "An Evening with Nancy Kerr & James Fagan" can be seen as a 23 year career retrospective. It features some of their most requested songs from across their previous 5 albums, including "Dance to your Daddy" and "Anderson's Coast". The setlist is far broader than a mere "best of" collection though, and includes several never before recorded pieces.

Beautifully presented in a tri-fold sleeve graced with live photography by Elly Lucas, this is a "must have" album for fans of Kerr Fagan and a brilliant introduction to the duo for new listeners.
