Reconvening the line-up of their successful Tune Up tour in 2007, Scotland’s foremost fiddle and accordion duo, Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham, host a programme highlighting their instruments’ kinship across diverse musical traditions.
From Sweden comes the ten-year partnership of fiddler Björn Ståbi and accordionist Bengan Janson, two of the top exponents in their field, with a repertoire ranging from Viking long dances to contemporary waltzes and polskas.
Completing a trio of cultures who are – according to Bain – at their happiest when they’re miserable, Louisiana’s Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band comprises Marc Savoy (accordion), Beausoleil’s Michael Doucet (fiddle/vocals) and Ann Savoy (guitar/vocals), who’ve been called ‘the closest most of us will ever get to hearing an authentic Cajun bash on a screened-in bayou porch.’
Each act will perform individually, before all seven players team up together.
