Hilary James and Simon Mayor’s live performances are a
riot of humorous anecdotes and off-the-cuff wit alongside dazzling
musicianship. The performers slide easily from beautifully evocative
Irish ballad into a mandolin and guitar versions of Handel’s “Arrival of
the Queen of Sheba” and then get the audience singing one of their own
notorious comic songs! With wry humour and an easy, informal stage
manner their performance has been described as “Sheer musical brilliance
“ by the BBC world service.

monstrously enjoyable evening"

Shetland Folk Festival
