The next Vaguely Sunny concerts see the welcome return to the Isle of Wight of James Hickman and Dan Cassidy following their first visit in 2010 when they impressed audiences with their diverse range of songs and tunes,including Bluegrass, Cajun and Celtic material.

A return visit last year had to be cancelled on the morning of the first of their two scheduled concerts because James's partner was about to give birth to their first child.

As a Transatlantic duo, their music is very much influenced by the traditions of both Britain and America, James Hickman is from Shrewsbury in Shropshire.

He is the lead singer in the duo, an excellent interpreter of folksong and an emotive songwriter.

With James will be fiddle player Dan Cassidy who hails from Maryland, USA. A very exciting virtuoso musician, Dan is the brother of the late Eva Cassidy whose music has enjoyed enormous popularity in recent years. Dan appears on several of Eva's recordings. James and Dan are here for two concerts, and will be supported by young Island singer Charlotte Callaghan.

Tickets for the Dimbola concert are £10.00 each and can be booked in advance from Dimbola Lodge or by phoning 01983-730930.
