NEW: Swedish Fiddle Tunes AlbumSince the release of my tunebook "Swedish Fiddle Tunes" 8 years ago, I have received numerous requests for an accompanying recording which has always proved daunting considering there's almost a hundred tunes in the book! However, I have finally chosen 24 tunes from the first half of the book. And who's to say there shouldn't be "another selection" at some later date!
You can download the album from Bandcamp here. |

Mountscribe
Mountscribe is the debut album from Rowan Piggott – 12 tracks blurring the line between traditional and original songwriting. FolkWords says "...not only does Piggott demonstrate a deep understanding of and ‘feel’ for tradition, he also exhibits a fine ability to add his own edge to this music. The blend of songs and tunes fit perfectly, each combination revealing a consummate skill... Add vocals that express depths of feeling, always engaging and at times verging on fragile, Piggott possesses a distinct and expressive voice...
Mountscribe is a debut long waited for; many will be pleased to hear of its arrival, and none will be disappointed..." 
★★★★ "Craggy and luminous prospects, yet dense and earthy at the point of intersection...a voice and fiddle-playing nous that have already seen him celebrated as one of the best young musicians on the folk scene."

"There are many accomplished fiddle players playing today, old and young. Rarer are those who can combine their playing with singing of such clarity and quality. Rowan Piggott is assuredly the latter... Accentuated by the crispness of his fiddle playing, his vocals are a standout among the increasingly crowded group of emerging talents on the British scene." Read more...
"...a perfect illustration of Rowan’s talents... his life-and-soul energy is inclusive and infectious...his singing has a nimbly sprung quality which mirrors the deft sweep and agility of his fiddle strokes... a proud and very assured debut which will surely enhance Rowan’s existing high profile even more considerably!"
