Tune Up Podcast 2007-2008: Episode 5: Fraser Fifield Band with Nedyalko Nedyalkov Quartet

Summary: Fraser Fifield Band is one of the most distinctive sounding groups working in Scotland today and comprises: Fraser Fifield on low whistle, soprano sax and bagpipes, Graeme Stephen on guitar, David Robertson on percussion and Guy Nicholson also on percussion. The band grew out of the successful earlier line-up, The Fraser Fifield Trio which had been performing since March 2003 headlining concerts at important music festivals such as Celtic Connections, The Highland Festival, Rootin Aboot at the Lemon Tree, Edinburgh Fringe, Edinburgh Jazz Festival, Islay Jazz Festival and Big Big World Festival and further afield at Baku Jazz Festival. Nedyalko Nedyalkov Quartet comprises four of the most talented and respected musicians in Bulgaria today, frequently described as 'Master Musicians'. The band features Nedyalko Nedylakov on kaval, Georgi Petrov on gadulka, Angel Dimitrov on tamboura and Stoimenka Nedyalkova on vocals. All are great improvisers, at home in a number of musical styles, whilst having the strongest traditional music roots.
