THE FIRELIGHT TRIO / Ruth Morris, Phil Alexander, Gavin Marwick

A gig of European folk 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 played by a mighty new group, featuring Dumfries & Galloway based 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. 

A veritable roots music supergroup…Simply splendid, three musical giants.  RnR magazine 
Deeply expressive, impressively virtuosic and cheekily sardonic, all in perfect measure.  Songlines 
Achingly beautiful.  Fatea
