Saltfishforty
Combining the traditional music of Orkney with touches of jazz and Americana, Satlfishforty have dazzled audiences from Scotland to Spain, Norway to Cape Bretton. The duo of Douglas Montgomery (fiddle/viola) and Brian Cromarty (guitar/mandola/vocals) draw upon the traditional Orcadian repertoire or hornpipes, jigs and reels as well as their own material, creating a fresh, fiery sound. Saltfishforty released their debut album, Goose Music in 2003, followed by Orkney Twister, recorded in halls, sheds and bedrooms across Orkney, in 2005. A new album is due for relase this year. The duo were nominated in the 'up and coming artist of the year' category at the BBC Scottish Traditional Music Awards 2004.
"... An eclectic hybrid of styles, rooted in traditional folk but also drawing on bluegrass, blues, jazz and cajun ... An impressive instrumental combination."
Kenny Mathieson (The Scotsman)
