James Hickman & Dan Cassidy

James Hickman & Dan Cassidy

James' and Dan's duo was formed in 2008, beginning with several successful local shows in James' hometown of Shrewsbury and the surrounding county of Shropshire. Their relaxed banter and unique musical style was well received and they were soon performing further afield.

The following year, with the prospect of more comprehensive tours approaching, they recorded and released their debut album Severn Street, featuring arrangements of traditional songs and tunes and several of their own compositions.

Their successive tours have grown steadily in size and they now perform throughout the UK, enjoying concerts from the Scottish Highlands to the Isle of Wight. Their sound flows from the connection between British and American folk and is bursting with all the humour, heartbreak and excitement of these genres.
