Ante Mikkel (featured in Joanna Lumley’s ‘Northern Lights’ BBC TV programme) and Inger-Biret Gaup provide a rare opportunity to hear “joik”, the unique vocal tradition of the northern Saami culture from a very special father and daughter duo, while Claire Hewitt, storyteller, singer and harpist presents ‘Tales and songs of Sun, Moon, Reindeer and Hare’, inspired by journeys around the Arctic Circle and Scotland.
Samling, comprising Anne Sofie Linge Valdal (vocals, Norwegian flute), Naomi Elysia Harvey (vocals), Barry Reid (guitar, vocals), Kevin O’Neill (flute, vocals), and Fiona MacAskill (fiddle) combine Norwegian and Gaelic vocal music traditions in the ‘Nu-Nordic’ genre!
