In 1998, legendary British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sandra Kerr teamed up with her daughter Nancy Kerr and Nancy’s Australian partner James Fagan to form a trio, which they named after a triangle. Combining luscious family harmonies, traditional songs mainly from Nancy’s ancestral county of Northumberland, and dashing instrumentals both old and newly composed, Scalene played many festivals and recorded the acclaimed album “Scalene”. Kerr and Fagan went on to become a much-loved and multi-award-winning duo on the folk scene.

In 2022, to celebrate Sandra’s 80th birthday, the trio got back together to play concerts at Sidmouth and Whitby Folk Festivals, and the response was so good, they decided to put on this very special night, hosted by Live at Sam’s in Sheffield and livestreamed via Live to Your Living Room.

Scalene will be joined by Janice Burns & Jon Doran, who will play a couple of songs to kick off the night! Janice and Jon are an Anglo-Scottish duo who sing traditional ballads with beautiful harmonies - a perfect fit for Scalene!
