About Tradewinds Folk present: Margaret and Bob Fagan in Concert

August 2016 – Fri 12th at 7.30pm

Margaret and Bob Fagan are the founder members of Australia’s pre-eminent folk music family, ‘The Fagans’. They are coming to Tradewinds on Friday August 12th, and we are confident you will enjoy this vibrant duo.

Margaret and Bob began their musical journey together in Canberra in the late 1960s.  Since then they have appeared regularly as a duo across Australia, the UK and Ireland.  They also raised a family of musicians who went on to become the famous and much loved family band.  Their children are now internationally renowned performers in their own right. Kate Fagan is a prominent singer-songwriter, widely regarded as one of Australia’s best. James Fagan has gone on with Nancy Kerr to form one of the most successful duos in British folk music history, winning acclaim and regular awards, including the BBC Folk Performers of the year.

With their strong blend of politically-edged traditional and contemporary songs, combined with lyrical ballads and great choruses, Margaret and Bob are guaranteed to lift your spirits.  Their repertoire is firmly rooted in the folk tradition.  Their harmony work is legendary, but their appeal goes well beyond that.  Margaret’s pure voice and Bob’s superb guitar playing combine to ensure their popularity both here and abroad.  Make sure you are part of the Tradewinds audience on this special night.
