North Atlantic Fiddle Convention, and Wave of the Flood

Travelling Folk

Available for 27 days

We preview this summer's North Atlantic Fiddle Convention, which is returning to its founding venue in Aberdeen to celebrate its 25th anniversary in June. The festival will bring together some of the world’s top musicians, dancers and academics to perform and discuss the rich fiddle and dance traditions that have developed around the North Atlantic seaboard. And Anna chats to Lindsay Strachan, who performs as Wave of the Flood. Lindsay released her first single last June and since then has been releasing a single each month, with her album officially released this coming May. We hear how her year of releasing music has been.
