Saltfishforty in Concert at King’s Pavilion in partnership with SC&T Youth
Saturday 16th September, Doors 7pm BST
Main Hall King's Pavilion, King's College Campus University of Aberdeen
Saltfishforty have delighted audiences at many of the world’s top folk festivals as well as touring to the US and throughout Europe. Their focus on Orkney music takes in traditional, contemporary and original material, boldly cross-fertilised with influences from Americana to East European folk, plus a high-octane whiff of heavy metal. If ever a duo was more than the sum of its parts, this is it!
Douglas Montgomery (fiddle/viola) and Brian Cromarty (songs/guitar/mandola) - jointly known as Orkney duo, Saltfishforty - combine the rich traditional music of Orkney with original compositions, as showcased to wide acclaim on their five albums: Bere (2017), LIVE (2013), Netherbow (2010), Orkney Twister (2005) and Goose Music (2003). Saltfishforty have delighted audiences at many of the world’s top folk festivals including Celtic Connections, Cambridge, HebCelt, Shetland, Lorient, and Canada’s Celtic Colours, as well as touring to the US and throughout Europe.
