Review
Emma Reid says
"A snake bow is an undulating dynamic sound characteristic of the Bingsjö fiddle Nils Agenmark (1915-1994). Together with the fiddle Gössa Anders Andersson (1878-1963) from Orsa, he is one of my foremost sources of musical inspiration - Nils with his continuous, ornamented tone; Gössa with his swinging, unpretentious style
"Snake Bow is a musical painting of myself; a culmination of the inspirations and influences of several tradition bearers, my Swedish heritage, my upbringing with jigs and reels in the north-east of England, the musicians I've met, the thoughts that have lingered...
"I chose solo because I love the unique way in which a solo performance can uncompromisingly reveal a personal voice - a personal story. A lone fiddle is capable of carrying melodies, rhythms, emotions and stories that fill the air and touch any soul in thier path."
