SUMMARY:All Hallows' Eve: Spooky tunes\, songs and tales from Scotland at The Word Barn
DESCRIPTION:Orkney\, Scotland fiddler Louise Bichan is joined by guitarist Conor Hearn\, mandolinist Ethan Setiawan and cellist Brendan Hearn\, for the second edition of All Hallows’ Eve music and fun from the Celtic Isles. \nFeaturing Samhain traditions\, folk tales and songs of trowies\, sea serpents\, and selkies – and the release of a brand-new album\, Binnorie. \nCome as yourself or disguised in your best costume to fool the evil spirits\, and bring your most frighteningly carved neep (turnip) or pumpkin to win a prize! (Fake candles will be available.) \nChildren are welcome\, but a few songs will include dark themes such as murder ballads (as any respectable folk show does). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT LOUISE BICHAN\nWEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | SPOTIFY\nLouise Bichan is a USA-based Scottish musician and photographer who uses both mediums to tell stories old and new. \nGrowing up in the remote but culturally rich Orkney islands\, a place where creativity abounds and playing music has been a part of the social fabric for centuries\, gave Louise a solid grounding in music. She started playing fiddle at the age of 7 after witnessing the magic of live music: “I remember the butterflies in the tummy feeling when watching concerts at the Orkney Folk Fest as a kid\, wanting to be a part of it all.” The sense of community and belonging it gave her was infectious; she pestered her parents to let her learn. \nIn the years since\, she has honed her craft\, first amongst the cream of Scottish folk at Glasgow’s renowned session scene and performances with talent like Orkney group Fara and award-winning singer-songwriter Rachel Sermanni\, before a scholarship to Berklee College of Music\, Boston\, where she developed her style further. \nMasterfully blending traditional and classical arrangements\, her music is thoughtful\, and complex\, curious and playful. She composes in response to her roots and the world around her; weaving through stories of connection\, to people\, nature\, the past and the possibility of the future. \n“Atmospherically filmic” ★★★★ The Scotsman \n“This is a truly beautiful piece of art.” ★★★★ Songlines
