LANG LINKEN
Knorifas
GO’ Danish GO 0200 (2001)

Sprightly Danish dance tunes and songs, more akin to the music of mainland European neighbours than to that of the rest of Scandinavia, from experienced vocal/instrumental trio playing fiddle, bagpipe, melodeon, hurdy-gurdy, hummel, jew’s harp etc. with unlaboured skill and rightness, true tradition-bearers now joined in some songs by daughters Sofie Aagaard and Karen Mose.

ULC
Spring
GO’ Danish GO 0100 (2000)

More of those Danish traditional dance tunes, interpreted with air and lift by fiddler Peter Uhrbrand, melodeon and harmonica player Sonnich Lydom, and guitarist/bouzouki-ist Seamus Cahill (who proves a very fine sensitive Irish traditional style singer in three Irish songs and one from Newfoundland), plus double bass and fluid piano.
