12th July (afternoon) 2018 at St Andrew's Cathedral, Aberdeen.

North Atlantic Fiddle Convention (NAFCo) (free event), www.northatlanticfiddle.com/.

Country: Lithuania. Style: Traditional Lithuanian.

Lineup: Gaila Kirdiene (violin/v), Elena Kirdaite (violin/v), Arvydas Kirda (bandoneon/p).

Married couple Gaila Kirdiene and Elena Kirdaite are ethnomusicologists who research and perform traditional Lithuanian music. I saw them at the 2006 NAFCo as part of the group Griezikai. This time they were joined by their daughter Elena Kirdaite who is studying at Chetham's School of Music in Manchester. I saw the group twice during the festival - at St Andrew's Cathedral and the Lemon Tree. Apparently they play a variety of nstruments but at NAFCo they kept to Violins, Bandoneon (with a bit of Piano). Lithuania is one of the countries along with Argentina and Uruguay where Bandoneons are popular.
