Source by James Kerry
Source is a true representation of James’ style as well as passions and reflects his huge respect for traditional music and his desire to pass it on. Consisting of predominantly original and traditional English tunes, along with a few contemporary pieces, it has been arranged with a truly unique style and is performed by James (melodeon) alongside some of his friends and favourite musicians – James Delarre (fiddle, viola and mandolin), Tom Kitching (fiddle, mandolin) and Danny Tonks (guitar).
