Hannah James and Toby Kuhn

Hannah is an award-winning accordionist, dancer, songwriter and singer, renowned for her work with The Jigdoll Ensemble, Lady Maisery, Seasick Steve, Maddy Prior, Eliza Carthy, Karine Polwart, and many more. Toby is a globetrotting French cellist whose post-classical, inventive playing combines beautifully with Hannah to create a charismatic, playful chemistry.In a journey through sound, texture, emotion and rhythm, Hannah and Toby navigate the paths of growth, discovery, darkness and light, exploring the dialog of cello, voice, accordion and foot percussion in new and unexpected ways. Effortlessly blending, the pair play and dance through a series thoughtful tunes, soulful songs and joyful set-pieces in which Hannah?s vocal mastery is underpinned by Toby?s unorthodox delivery, weaving intricate layers of harmony and melody together to the beat and swish of percussive dance.
