     'Bjoernsdotter & Reid - Rough and Shiny' is the much
     anticipated album by innovative young fiddlers Alicia
     Bjoernsdotter and Emma Reid. Their debut album presents
     traditional and contemporary fiddle music from Sweden and the
     British Isles. When Emma and Alicia take on a tune, they
     launch into a playful chase. The two fiddles bend and tease,
     take a turn, and then one follows smoothly the other. Elegant
     polskas are flavoured with blue notes and raw
     counter-melodies, and the arrangements for two fiddles give a
     Swedish touch to compositions by Chris Wood and Robert
     Harbron.

     Alicia Bjoernsdotter and Emma Reid both have a performance
     degree in traditional Swedish music from the Royal College of
     Music in Stockholm and Emma has also completed a Master in
     Music at Newcastle University. Alongside Swedish music, the
     vibrant fiddle tradition of the Shetland Isles and the
     traditional music of EmmaÆs native England have a special
     place in their duo repertoire.

     Said about Bjoernsdotter & Reid:

     "The music produced by these two artists leaves absolutely
     nothing to be desired of an evening's entertainment. The
     spirit of their performance is captivating and uplifting. One
     can not accurately appraise their work without risk of being
     accused of exaggerating."
     - Peg Eves, October 2004, Director, West Street Arts VT
