In celebration of their 10th anniversary, Orkney born folk quartet FARA embark on a whistle-stop tour around the UK in 2025, returning to some of their favourite venues and towns from a decade of touring. Presenting an evening of highlights from their three critically acclaimed albums, 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.
