Dagger Gordon and Fraya Thomsen

24th November

With 50 strings and 75 years of performing between them, Fraya Thomsen and Dagger Gordon have come together to form a new Highland duo. Their unique combination of instruments creates a bright and driving sound - tipping their hats to the folk revival while framing new melodies between ancient tunes and songs. Folk harper and singer Fraya Thomsen first began playing the clarsach at Fèis Rois and later Balnain House, while Dagger Gordon has been making and teaching music around the Highlands for over fifty years with his mandolin and other stringed instruments. With his deep roots and a place in the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame, Dagger has played hundreds of concerts and ceilidhs, His curiosity and love of Scottish music has had him digging out old tunes wherever he goes, as well as penning his own. Fraya has been the lucky recipient of numerous awards, enabling her to do further studies in Scottish music and screen composing. Both musicians have a wealth of CD, book releases and collaborations to their names including 'Release' and 'Highland Mandolin'. Fraya's journey into film composing has seen her music take some exciting turns and she currently has a feature in the cinemas 'How Deep is Your Love?'. . Fraya and Dagger are excited to make music together and hope you will enjoy it as much as they do!
