Fribo
Fribo is a unique collaboration between three musicians from Norway, Scotland and England, who blend their own musical styles together in an innovative and sensitive way.
"Fribo are a new and exciting Edinburgh based three-piece who combine the Scandinavian and Scottish traditions with an exuberant feel for contemporary sounds and rhythms. Anne Sofie's beautiful and subtle vocals combining with Sarah-Jane's highland fiddle style are more than ably supported by Ewan's guitar and vocal nuances."

"The soaring mountains and cascading waterfalls of the Norwegian fjords then flooded into the minds of the enraptured audience, as the lilting mouth-music' of Fribo's Anne-Sofie Linge Valdal accompanied the strains of the national instrument of Norway, the Hardanger fiddle - played by accomplished Scots lass, Sarah-Jane Summers - and the guitar of Ewan MacPherson."
York Press (Yorvik Viking Festival)
"Their appealing mix of songs and vibrant instrumentals offer an intriguing mixture of Nordic and Scottish music, with a dash of experimentation thrown in. The combination makes for an accomplished debut recording."
Scotsman
"What immediately strikes you is the freshness and zest emanating from the trio. And whether it's the hauntingly beautiful voice of Valdal, their up-tempo reading of Norwegian tune sets or the enthusiastic working of a set of bagpipe tunes, it's all wonderfully addictive ... another fine release from Fellside."
