Review |
| | In Swåp the Celtic; England, Ireland and Brittany, meet the Scandinavian and Sweden. The groupname (as well as the spelling) was natural, look up swap in the dictionary; it is about exchange, to swap someting in exchange for something you need. To give away to gain In Swåp Karen Tweed, accordion, and Ian Carr, guitar, trade ideas and songs with Swedish fiddlers Ola Bäckström and Carina Normansson. When a reel meets a springlek and a waltz melody from Dalsland in Sweden collides with a valsounette from Brittany something new happens. Something unheard of and unknown yet familiar and definitely necessary. Swåp may be a new group but the members are by no means newcomers. Karen Tweed, from London and Ian Carr, Welshman from Bangor, both have a past in the Kathryn Tickell Band. Their shared discography contains some twenty odd releases. Besides Swåp they also have a duo together. Karen is also found in the Poozies. Ola Bäckström, from Ore, in Dalarna and Carina Normansson, from Sala in Västmanland, are fiddlers coming from a broad background in different constellations and groups. They are among Swedens finest fiddleplayers. Together these four are Swåp, a cultural clash with an unusually happy ending. |
