Extra events for Northern Streams
Just before Edinburgh Tradfest kicks off our friends at Northern Streams Festival get underway with an evening concert by Fromsier & Hockings, and The Låtmores on Thursday 27 April at the Scottish Storytelling Centre.
Fromseier & Hockings is a Danish Folk Award winning fiddle/guitar/voice duo from Denmark with songs and tunes. They come from the tiny village called Øksendrup, where they also run a small organic orchard and cidery. Their tunes and songs are inspired by their surroundings and the people in them with voices and instruments intertwining, grooving and moving!
The Låtmores is Paul Sinclair (fiddle) and Janeta Österberg (accordion) – a Scottish/Finnish duo with a mix of traditional and modern folk tunes including ones they like people to dance to…! They feature 'Finlandssvensk Musik' subculture of Finnish folk music in their repertoire as both Janeta and Paul are part of that community.
Both duos will also be leading workshops on Sunday 30 April, also at the Scottish Storytelling Centre.
