Internationally Acclaimed Folk Music at Glasgow’s Concert Halls in Spring 2009

Glasgow’s Fruitmarket Folk series returns this spring with an eclectic line-up of Scottish and international folk talent taking to the stage at one of Glasgow’s most atmospheric venues, the Old Fruitmarket.


The season kicks off on 6th May with A Taste of Shetland, as some of the stars of this year’s Shetland Folk Festival visit the city for the festival’s Glasgow encore, hosted by BBC Radio Scotland’s Tom Morton. The bill of top international talent features Asturian folk band Felpeyu, whose energetic and richly textured traditional folk sound is often compared to that of fellow Asturians Llan de Cubel. Also appearing are Finnish/Norwegian fiddle group Frigg, who draw inspiration from Nordic music as well as American grassroots styles, and Vishtèn, who combine the fiery music and dance of their native Acadian regions of Prince Edward Island and the Magdalen Islands.
