Nancy is certainly busy! The Sweet Liberties project marks the sealing of Magna Carta 800 years ago. It is part of the Houses of Parliament's 2015 anniversaries programme Parliament in the Making, supported by the EFDSS, Folk by The Oak and the PRS for Music Foundation. Nancy Kerr, Martyn Joseph, Sam Carter and Maz O'Connor - with Patsy Reid and Nick Cooke - will perform new music, written in response to the rights and liberties that people have fought to achieve and protect over the past eight centuries. Nancy paid a visit to the Houses of Parliament with Maz O'Connor and Patsy Reid, and has composed Written on My Skin and Lilah, a song about the Suffragette Muriel Matters. 24th November – Cambridge Junction 25th November – Colston Hall, Bristol 26th November – The Met, Bury 27th November – St David's Hall, Cardiff 28th November – Cecil Sharp House, London 29th November – The Sage, Gateshead And I understand that there will be a performance in Westminster. Now that really would be a perk for the politicians!
