James Raynard + The Queensbury Rules
T0479091896
James Raynard is a young English folk singer, guitarist and fiddle player, based in Yorkshire, who in 2005 signed to One Little Indian Record s new folk imprint Unearthed and launched his debut album 'Strange Histories' at Cambridge Folk Festival. Something of a curiosity among folk artists, he is young and vital on stage, private and at times reclusive off , Whilst studying Folklore at Sheffiled University, he forged a close friendship with folk hero Martin Carthy, who says of him: 'James Raynard loves music, is inquisitive, passionate and brave. He is willing to take the sort of chances which make music an exciting place in which to work. The Queensberry Rules formed in September 2001, and since then have released 3 albums and supported the likes of Glenn Tilbrook, Kerr & Fagan and Christine Collister. Tipping a wink to folk, bluegrass, country and blues whilst wrapping it all up with a skiffle sensibility, their wry lyrical sense, hooks aplenty and perhaps the most striking aspect of all - their watertight harmonies, which are replicated immaculately during their live set, led fRoots to say of their debut album; ..'clean cut strings and just enough angst...immediate sounding, contemporary folk song with a healthy dose of cynicism..' Every indication is that The Queensberry Rules will be playing huge venues in the very near future. Catch them now while you still can!
