Gässbikôllor
Giga GCD-78 (2006)

Three strong young fiddlers, two of them sisters, from Gärdsjö near Rättvik in Dalarna, with local tunes – mainly polskas with occasional gångar, march or waltz – played with finesse solo, duet and trio, many showing the influence and repertoire of the late Päkkos Gustaf of nearby Bingsjö.
