Hilary James
- two new acclaimed albums
| Laughing
With The Moon She's famed too for an unlikely taste in bass instruments (she could turn up with her giant mandobass or slimline, semi-acoustic double bass), accompanying Simon on guitar on anything from Vivaldi to bluegrass and even managing a step-dance if the wind is in the right direction. For the new CD, Laughing With The Moon, she returns to her roots with an evocative mix of traditional and original songs and tunes. She is joined by her long-time partner, Britain's leading hot-fingered mandolin virtuoso, fine fiddler and guitarist, Simon Mayor. |
"One
of Britain's finest voices" "Hilary's bitter-sweet
voice lends these melancholy blues a wonderfully dreamy, honey-dripping
beauty. Lush." "Songs were never sung as exquisitely." "A voice like an angel" "As a singer of folk songs,
Hilary James has no peer" |
