Forest Folk - a great folk club in Hampshire
 What's on: Monday 15 July, 8 pm - Saltfishforty  Saltfishforty are a fresh and dynamic duo hailing from the
Orkney Islands in the north of Scotland. Douglas Montgomery (fiddle/viola) and
Brian Cromarty (songs/guitar/mandola) combine the rich traditional music of
Orkney with original compositions. The powerhouse partnership have won a devoted following
throughout the UK and beyond, brilliantly transcending the duo format’s
conventional confines. Linchpin figures in the currently flourishing revival of
Orkney’s traditional music, they unite these deep-rooted sources with an
exhilarating breadth of influence and expertise, catalysed by a creative
empathy born from decades of friendship.
The result is a sound of equally thrilling raw attack and
multi-dimensional richness. A partnership forged back in 2002 – more by accident than
design – the two knew each other since primary school, and played together in
sessions and various bands, until they were booked in a four-piece for a charity
gig, and only the two turned up: “We decided to go on and just make as much
noise as two people possibly could – which is kind of how it’s been ever since”
they say. Their focus on Orkney music takes in
traditional, contemporary and original material, boldly cross-fertilised with
influences from Americana to East European folk, plus a high-octane whiff of
heavy metal. (www.saltfishforty.co.uk)  We need more likes on facebook - please join in the fun, click on the tab, and like and share Forest Folk on facebook. Many thanks. * * * * * * * * See below for details of all forthcoming events. Forest Folk meets on the first
