Taking place 18-20 April, this year’s Northern Streams festival features artists with backgrounds and repertoire (including Vikings and Pirates) from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Scotland with
Concerts, Workshops, a Ceilidh and Sessions!
We have invited the following artists to the festival now in its 20th (+2) year:
•
Christine Kammerer (Song, Story, Lyre, keyboard) – Denmark Celebrated for her fusion of Nordic and Celtic folk music, blending symphonic elements with ancient songs and cross-cultural storytelling Christine also specialises in early music/Viking Age music.
•
Joss Cameron, Amy Dudley and Steve Tyler (Song, Story, Keyboard, Guitar) – Scotland Step aboard and join traditional singer, Joss Cameron, for an evening of rousing songs and captivating tales of Scotland’s rich maritime history. They will take you on journey though the lives of sailors, fisherfolk and wanderers who braved the waves, with haunting melodies and audience participation – a celebration of our maritime heritage.
•
Gro-Marthe Dickson (Song and keyboard) – Norway Gro-Marthe Dickson is a Norwegian singer that has been put in the big genre box called jazz; this is where she gets her musical freedom from as well. But her experience and background are also from folk, soul, and even pop music. During her upbringing there was gospel, jazz and Scottish folk tunes at home, and there was always an instrument available – including the voice – around the house. Her latest project is exploring connecting with the heritage of her Scottish granny!
•
Kristina Leesik, Anna Whiteford and Rose Logan (Fiddle, Accordion, Hardingfele) – Sweden and Scotland This trio are active musicians in Scotland, Norway, Finland and Sweden and create a magical bond between these countries and traditions with polskas, reinländer, jigs and reels.
All events take place at Scottish Storytelling Centre, Royal Mile, Edinburgh EH1 1SR.
