Ross
Couper from Voe in Shetland and Tom Oakes from Totnes in
Devon are a fiddle and guitar duo deeply rooted in the traditions of Scotland,
Ireland and Scandinavia but with a vital modernity that chronicles their many
musical journeys so far. Expect a highly dynamic mixture of power and fragility
combined with a warmth and humour that have drawn in audiences around the
world. Ross’ explosive fiddle playing lies at the heart of some of the mighty
Peatbog Faeries. Tom Oakes is a multi award winning guitarist and flautist who
as well as being a founder member of the genre defying Auvo Quartet is also
known for his work as a solo flautist and in his power trio OBT. Their
debut album ‘Fiddle and Guitar’ was released at Celtic Connections last year
and was shortlisted for ‘Album of the Year’ at the Scots Trad Music Awards
2017.
