SCOTLAND INTRODUCING
Firelight Trio is a mighty new group featuring Fatea instrumentalist of the Year 2023 Gavin Marwick (fiddle), groovily inventive accordionist/pianist Phil Alexander (Moishe's Bagel), and Ruth Morris (Outlander, HBO) on the beautiful Swedish nyckelharpa. They play European music that is evocative, inventive, wide-ranging, and endlessly exciting - a rich tapestry of lively Swedish polskas and Scottish reels, lilting French waltzes, toe-tapping klezmer, and dazzling original tunes.
'A veritable roots music supergroup' - RnR magazine
'Deeply expressive, impressively virtuosic and cheekily sardonic, all in perfect measure' - Songlines
'Simply splendid. Three musical giants' - RnR
'Achingly beautiful'
