Celtic Connections proudly presents Saltfishforty & Support
The powerhouse partnership of Orcadians Douglas Montgomery (fiddle/viola) and Brian Cromarty (songs/guitar/mandola) - aka Saltfishforty - brilliantly transcends 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.
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. The result is a sound of equally thrilling raw attack and multi-dimensional richness.
