Whilst Martin Simpson, Andy Cutting & Nancy Kerr are all virtuosos in their own right they have found themselves appearing on stage together in various combinations over the years and the experience has clearly, and not surprisingly, been a good one. So it’s great news that they have formed as a trio to release a new album called Murmurs. The album which is due for release on June 8th 2015 will be released via Topic Records and will be supported by a full tour.
We’ll be bringing you more on the album soon, but in the meantime watch this new video from Nancy Kerr in which she talks about one of the fiddles she uses in the new album, no ordinary fiddle – it’s the one she first bought for herself made by a welsh fiddle maker called Tim Phillips whose fiddles have also been played by the likes of Eliza Carthy and Ciaran Algar. She met this fine fiddle at Towersey Festival when she was 18 years old and she demonstrates the wonderful sound it produces in an old-time tuning (AEAE) with some great tunes.
The trio’s debut album ‘Murmurs’ will be released on Topic Records on 8 June 2015.
