Sam and Merle play dynamic, full-bodied arrangements of contemporary and traditional music using fiddle, drones and voices to build melodic lines inspired and improvised from traditional songs and dance music.
They are two massively talented musicians, from Scotland and the North East of England . They both play fiddle and sing ; as well as Scottish fiddle Merle's playing is influenced by Irish, Scandinavian and Eastern European music. Sam also plays guitar. Expect tunes and songs performed with gumption, nuance , warmth and ferocity ( not all necessarily at the same time!)
This is a London folk club debut from an act that is surely destined for bigger venues.
