17th February 2017 at Royal Festival Hall (Bar level 2), London SE1.
Part of Nordic Matters / Friday Tonic (free event).
Country: Denmark. Style: Traditional Danish & Irish & own compositions.
Lineup: Andreas Tophøj Rasmussen (violin/viola/v), Rune Cygan Barslund (accordiob/low whistle).
Andreas Tophøj & Rune Barslund started performing together through the Academy of Music in Odense. As well as Danish music they played several Irish tunes (Barslund has taken an interest since an early age and spent a year at the University of Limerick as an exchange student). They also did an American song. I have seen Tophøj twice before, with Zar in 2005 (seeing several Danish bands at Celtic Connections that year was my first encounter with music from that country) and Basco earlier this year (see: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/albums/72157676733772564/).
