We are pleased to welcome a collaboration between cult folk singer
Alasdair Roberts, French singing trio Tartine de Clous and fiddler Neil McDermott. This ‘New Alliance’ will feature interpretations of
traditional French songs in resounding and joyous polyphony, plus
Gallicised recastings of original songs and traditional Scots ballads
from Roberts’ back catalogue, as well as the occasional slow air from
the deft bowing hand of McDermott. Harking back to both the French and
Scottish folk revivals of the late 20th century, and from there even
further and deeper into Europe’s musical past.
