They play European music that is evocative\, inventiv e\, and endlessly exciting. Ruth’s resonant nyckelharpa is matched by Ga vin’s powerhouse fiddle\, all backed up by Phil’s groovily inventive a ccordion and piano\, in a rich tapestry of lively Swedish polskas and Scot tish reels\, lilting French waltzes\, toe-tapping klezmer\, dazzling origi nal tunes and more. “A veritable roots music supergroup” RnR “Top-ca libre trio with grace\, energy\, and playfulness” Folk Radio UK“Aching ly beautiful” Fatea“Deeply expressive\, impressively virtuosic and che ekily sardonic\, all in perfect measure“ Songlines“Simply splendid…t hree musical giants” RnR “Absolutely superb\, thrilling and mesmerizin g performance!

It's stuffed w ith Latvian marches\, French Chapelloise\, Balkan Polskas\, Ukrainian klez mer tunes and German jigs. At every turn it is joyous\, deliriously uplift ing\, wildly inventive\, it is breathtakingly beautiful\, gently contempla tive\, wonderfully thoughtful. It is\, in short\, everything that makes Eu ropean music so great.” Gavin McNamaraThe second album\, 'Midnight Follo wed'\, is on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/album/4eWnnxOpZtHGFg55 WMyGeJOr on Bandcamp here: https://firelighttrio.bandcamp.com/album/midnig ht-followedThe album closes on a high\, with two tunes inspired by a road trip to\, and performing in\, the Czech Republic. ”Life On The Road/Six Weeks To Námĕšt’ show the symbiotic juxtaposition of the fiddle\, nyc kelharpa and accordion to perfect effect\, with the dramatic energy\, exci tement and emotion being created making it difficult to believe that only three instruments are being played. Midnight Followed provides a beacon of musical light\, guaranteed to bring a smile to the face and a tap to the foot.” Folk North West“Interesting and achingly beautiful music.” Ma rc Higgins\, Fatea“This is just the tonic for these dreich days before s pring appears\, and\, just by listening\, suddenly the world seems warmer and more inviting.” Seuras Og\, folking.com“The whole album feels opti mistic and you get the impression they love what they do. The east/west el ement and the varieties of melody and tempo really transport the listener. The more I heard of this album the happier I felt!
