'Kiila' with Alasdair Roberts
Glasgow-based Alasdair Roberts has now released 5 albums of tender yet driving folk music, since his ‘discovery’ via Will ‘Bonnie Prince Billy’ Oldham. Roberts’ repertoire is made up of his own compositions and jewels from the treasure trove of timeless Scottish folk songs he regularly plunders, delivering songs with his own deftly intricate guitar playing and a voice both bold and subject to fragility. This will be the first ever UK tour by Kiila, a collective based in Turku, Finland. Kiila typify the exciting new wave of music coming out of Finland in recent years, typified by the output of the label Fonal. When this sextet take the stage, you may be taken aback by the driving rhythms, sublime vocal harmonies and casually virtuous multi-instrumentalism. An SAC Tune up Tour.Date: 20/03/10
