Event information

Hannah and Toby met in Summer 2018 at Floating Castle festival in Slovenia. After a short jam in the sunshine it was clear that these two musicians shared a real artistic chemistry, and a new duo was born!
French cellist Toby Kuhn is a post-classical musician with a taste for improvisation and folk music of all persuasions.

Hannah James is renowned as one of the best accordionists on the British folk scene. Her musicianship extends far beyond the tradition and flawlessly incorporates beautiful vocal stylings with both classic and contemporary applications of English clog dance.

Their music is soulful, original and conversational. The combination of accordion and cello allows for a huge palette of sounds and textures which lift James’s pure voice and deeply honest songwriting. In the next breath they switch to choppy rhythms and joyful interplay between cello and percussive dance. This duo deliver a diverse, playful and hugely original performance.
