Frigg-Finland

Frigg (Finland)

Mon 1 Jan 0001 - Sun 26 Nov 2017, Capitol Theatre

A leading act on the Nordic scene, Frigg have dazzled Celtic Connections, The Scots Fiddle Festival, Fiddles On Fire, Cambridge Folk Festival, Orkney Folk Festival & many more.

There’s an enthusiastic appreciation of their fiddle-founded Nordgrass sound - a mix of Nordic folk and bluegrass. Possibly the most exciting, uplifting, gut-wrenching & hip-twitching band in the Northern Hemisphere.

Don’t miss this blizzard of jigs, reels & bluegrass inventions. Scandomusic as good as it gets!

Reviews

‘Embracing everything from Nashville to Nordkapp, Salzburg to Stornoway, this Helsinki septet manages to sound like a polka band, a rock group, or a Riverdance ensemble, while remaining purely acoustic and firmly string-powered. Four fiddles, an upright bass, guitars and mandos: that's all there is, but Frigg fill the air, live or on CD. Alex Monaghan, Folkworld

'A Finnish supergroup…- a very exciting sound and lots of momentum. A lot of energy , driving rhythms and key changes ; the tunes are a non-stop whirlwind’ Phil Brown, The Drift, BBC Radio Lancs

‘You can put me down as a fan’ Simon Nicol, Fairport Convention
