(Aftenposten) Svøbsk (Denmark): Maren Hallberg; accordion; Jørgen Dickmeiss; violin, guitar, vocal; Tira Skamby, Percussion - play a mixture of traditional and contemporary folk music. In June 2005, they released the much-acclaimed CD debut "Sig mig" ("speak to me"). Svøbsk is a melody and dancetype, where you turn round and round in a close embrace until you get all ... "svøbsked". Svøbsk "...have the courage to try out new angles ... and create new boundaries for what Danish folk music is". (Arbejderen, Helge Knudsen, August 2005) The House Sisters (Scottish Borders) is a fresh young trio playing traditional and contemporary music from Scotland and beyond. Their thoughtful arrangements combine lovely vocals with fiery fiddles and piano. They play tunes from the Scottish Borders and the rest of Scotland, as well as music from America and Scandinavia and their own compositions.
