International band will hit the right note

A five-piece band will be hitting the right note with the audience when they perform in Embleton tomorrow (Friday).

Baltic Crossing, made up of award-winning, virtuosic, traditional musicians from Finland, Denmark and the UK – Ian Stephenson, Andy May, Esko Järvelä, Antti Järvelä and Kristian Bugge – will be playing in Creighton Hall, from 7.30pm.

With fiery Scandinavian fiddles, bubbling Northumbrian pipes and a driving guitar and double bass rhythm section, Baltic Crossing’s blend of lively modern folk with a Scandinavian/Celtic feel, dynamic stage presence and funny anecdotes promises a foot-stomping and fun night out.
