Lochinver Village Hall will rock to the sound of virtuoso fiddling with a performance by the Nordic Fiddlers Bloc on Friday, May 3.
The band is made up of three fiddlers from the Nordic regions - Olav Luksengård Mjelva, Anders Hall and Kevin Henderson hail from Norway, Sweden and Shetland, respectively.
The trio first met in Voss, Norway, in 2009 when they made an “instant musical connection”.
Anders Hall felt that the combination of their three distinctive fiddling styles would create something special and his hunch has proved correct.
Playing on standard fiddles, octave fiddle, viola and Hardanger fiddle, they have developed a sound that is described as “intense and invigorating”.
They have performed throughout Scandinavia, mainland Europe, the US and the UK.
Yellow Door Events, a community interest company based in the Coigach area, is bringing The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc to Lochinver and are promising a “really special night”.
A spokesperson for Yellow Door Events, said: “The talent these gents have for arrangement and harmony is just sublime.”
Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start. Tea, coffee and cakes. BYOB Tickets priced £16/£14 are available from www.ticketsource.co.uk
