Fribo
Fribo is a unique collaboration between three musicians from Norway, Scotland and England, who are rapidly gaining recognition and acclaim for blending their own musical styles together with sensitivity and an exuberant feel for contemporary sounds and rhythms.
After first playing around an old Edinburgh kitchen table in 2003, Anne Sofie Linge Valdal, Sarah-Jane Summers and Ewan MacPherson decided to pursue their beautiful collision of music to seek out the very threads, which connected them in such a natural yet unexpected way.
Since then their graceful blending of Anne Sofies pure beautiful Norwegian voice, Sarah-Janes rich Scottish Highland fiddle and Ewans sympathetic guitar backing has become a sound in itself. Fribo are now joined regularly by top Scottish percussionist Paul Jennings (Fred Morrison Band, Croft No5, Old Blind Dogs)
Fribos sound is quickly becoming widely noticed, the band has been up and regularly played by BBC Radio 3 programme Late Junction and radio Scotlands Global Gathering, not to mention Norways number one radio station NRK. Their debut album was one of Music News Scotland’s Top 4 Albums of the Month (What’s Hot!) in June and was also voted no 9 in the May fRoots World/Roots Music Chart.
