Hailing from Scotland, Firelight Trio play European folk music that is evocative, inventive, and endlessly exciting. With over 25 years of experience as professional musicians in bands including Moishe’s Bagel, Gavin Marwick’s Journeyman and more, Firelight Trio’s repertoire is built upon a bedrock of European folk music, encompassing both traditional material and superb original compositions which are strongly influenced by the band members’ individual, diverse and broad musical experience. Combining the many gifts of Phil Alexander’s accordion, Gavin Marwick’s fiddle and Ruth Morris’s Swedish nyckelharpa, Firelight Trio weave a rich tapestry of lively Swedish polskas and Scottish reels, lilting French waltzes, toe tapping klezmer, dazzling original tunes and more. ‘It's very hard not to think about Europe and be desperately furious about loss when listening to this incredible album by Firelight Trio. It's stuffed with Latvian marches, French Chapelloise, Balkan Polskas, Ukrainian klezmer tunes and German jigs. At every turn it is joyous, deliriously uplifting, wildly inventive, it is breathtakingly beautiful, gently contemplative, wonderfully thoughtful. It is, in short, everything that makes European music so great.’ – Gavin McNamara (Tradfolk)
