Traditional Scottish folk straight from the Orkney Islands with the duo Saltfishforty
A force of nature from the Orkney Islands: the duo from the north of Scotland interpret traditional music and their own songs with incredible energy and enthusiasm. At the same time, they integrate influences such as American folk as well as elements of swing, jazz and blues into their captivating sound.
Douglas Montgomery (fiddle, viola) and Brian Cromarty (vocals, guitar, mandolin) met at elementary school and have grown together musically over the decades. They mix traditional Orkney Island folk music with their own compositions with a convincing dynamic and delight international audiences with their revival of traditional music.
