It is highly unusual for five musicians bearing vastly different cultures, ages and musical backgrounds to take to the stage in such a cohesive group, however this is the calling card of the ‘Across : Fiddlers Collective’!

​

Together Breton fiddler Gab Faure, Shetland/Quebecois fiddler Arthur Coates, Canadian fiddler Emily Yarascavitch, English/Irish fiddler Owen Spafford and Irish guitarist Niall Hughes explore the melodies, new and old, of their respective traditions.

This fresh approach both investigates the similarities, contrasts and nuances of these different traditional musics, while staying true to the roots of each.
