Leading an energetic four-piece acoustic band, James showcases his passion for the music with stunning arrangements of English folk classics, pieces by contemporary artists and his own compositions.</p><p>Accompanying James is a group of friends who also happen to be among the UK’s leading folk instrumentalists: James Delarre (Mawkin, Topette!!) on fiddle, viola and mandolin; Tom Kitching (Pilgrim’s Way, Alberio) on fiddle and mandolin, and Danny Tonks (Foot Down, Hilltop Ceilidh Band) on acoustic guitar.</p><p>Still only in his mid-20s, James Kerry has established a reputation for passionate,rhythmic playing rooted in the folk dance tradition. He began his musical journey at a young age, and quickly progressed to play extensively on the Morris and ceilidh circuits, including major festivals like Warwick Folk Festival, Broadstairs Folk Week and Ibiza’s Playing for Changel. He is a founding member of the exceptionally popular Hilltop Ceilidh Band and of loved alt-folk group Foot Down, which mixes an electric backline, grunge and trance elements with traditional and self-penned tunes.</p><p>It was the Covid-19 pandemic that gave James the time and space to develop the musical ideas and pastoral themes which would eventually become Source, his first solo project. Source is inspired by James’ love of rivers, nature and the countryside alongside his recent move with his family to live on a boat. The name relates to the beginning, the source of the river. Source is in so many ways a true representation of James’ style and passions,reflecting his huge respect for traditional music and his desire to pass it on.</p><p>The album was recorded over three days at Studio One in Margate and mastered at Nick Cooke Mastering in Bristol.</p><p>Source will be released on 1st April 2023. Pre-orders are now being taken and will be shipped one month before the release date.

Mawkin and Mawkin:Causley, James has established himself as a stalwart of the English traditional  music scene.  As a fiddle player he is in high demand and has worked with some of the country’s top musicians and groups including, Eliza Carthy, Bombay Bicycle Club, Jim Moray, Jim Causley, Saul Rose, appearances with Bellowhead and Jools Holland as well as work as a musician on Tv and film. His filmography includes Peaky Blinders, Far from the Madding Crowd, Tulip Fever and My Cousin Rachel, to name but a few.</p><p>Steeped in traditional music from an early age, the tunes pour out of his finger tips filling the air with a rich tapestry of emotion. The flow and natural swagger of the melodies have room to breathe, enticing the listener to tap a foot or wipe a tear away. His voice speaks through the violin creating a perfect accompaniment for the songs he sings with a raw natural sound.</p><p><strong>www.jamesdelarre.co.uk</strong></p><p></p>
