Hannah James and Toby Kuhn

Hannah James and Toby Kuhn are a dazzling combination. Hannah is an award-winning musician, dancer, songwriter and singer, a creative force renowned for her work with Lady Maisery, Seasick Steve, Maddy Prior and Songs of Separation with Eliza Carthy, Karine Polwart and others. Toby is a globetrotting French cellist whose post-classical, inventive, improvisational playing combines beautifully with Hannah to create a charismatic, playful chemistry. ?It is a musical marriage that is heaven sent and, tonight, they are remarkable?. incredibly exciting, an epic adventure, a dizzying travelogue? Gavin McNamara 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. Ever curious, always exploring their connection to the worlds around them, this duo offers an entirely novel, delicate, grounded and powerful performance.
