After the popularity of last year's festival collaboration, the versatile fiddler is again joined by five-time National Mod gold medalist and multi-award-winning composer/harpist Ailie Robertson, for a unique journey of sound. With Alastair and Ailie both steeped in traditional and classical disciplines, this again promises to be a tour de force of Scotland's finest melodies. Unmissable for folk music enthusiasts. 'Alastair Savage is a master of the instrument' (ThreeWeeks). 'Breathtaking effortlessness' (BrightYoungFolk.com). 'Flair, precision and consummate skill' (FolkWords). 'The ability to tear your heart out' (Maverick).
