Join FARA for their biggest Edinburgh show so far!
Presenting an evening of highlights from their three critically acclaimed albums from a decade making music together, Orkney-born FARA’s fiery fiddles, foot-stomping piano, and enchanting three-part vocal harmony will take you on a joyful journey through their time performing at the forefront of Scotland’s folk music scene.
Fusing the talents of three fine Orcadian fiddlers and vocalists – Jeana Leslie, Catriona Price and Kristan Harvey – alongside stand-out Highland pianist Rory Matheson, this concert will showcase the band’s unique mix of spell-binding vocals, intricately woven fiddle harmonies and energetic closers.
