Nancy says that her work has been strongly influenced by Leon Rosselson. Her mother, Sandra Kerr, has had a long musical association with Leon Rosselson.

Sandra Kerr, Leon Rosselson ?– Playsongs, Released: 1987 Genre: Children's Nursery Rhymes

Playsongs: Action songs and rhymes for babies and toddlers Paperback – 2002 The CD is performed by international folk artists Sandra Kerr, Leon Rosselson and Janet Russell.

"Another notable moment came with Leon Rosselson’s ‘My Daughter, My Son’, the story of a mother whose fear for the safety of her children causes her to lock them up. Sandra’s concertina playing was particularly effective here, with a sinister background tune that was almost cinematic."

Posted Friday 4 2013: Sandra Kerr & Sisters Unlimited + Leon Rosselson & Jim Woodland Time Out says; Kerr is a politically minded folk singer who has been active for decades and tonight celebrates her 70th birthday. The night will involve solo and group performances of Kerr's strongly feminist work.

Sandra Kerr says; "I am part of 'The Anti-Capitalist Roadshow' which is a collective of singers and songwriters: Frankie Armstrong, Roy Bailey, Robb Johnson, Reem Kelani, Grace Petrie, Leon Rosselson, Janet Russell, Peggy Seeger, Jim Woodland plus one socialist magician, Ian Saville. We are part of the resistance to a capitalism that functions only on behalf of the wealthy, that aims to shrink the public sphere and privatise public services, including the NHS, and that is destructive to the planet. We are part of another way of looking at the world."
