o John Ole Morken is a virtuoso Norwegian folk fiddle player - and hardanger fiddle. This solo album is a spellbinding selection of historical Norwegian ballads and dance tunes played with passion, feeling and intensity.

o Morken, born in 1979, developed a great interest in the history of folk fiddling, at an early age - and has been a leading researcher, collector and re-discoverer of lost traditions.

o For several years he has led the fiddle groups Fjellrypa Spellmannslag and Søndre Trondhjems Spellmannslag, as well as a music teacher. Morken has also worked with the folk rock group Morka; the bands Rim, JoJo and Lajla, and his own John Ole Project.

Reviews

Songlines - Matthew Milton

Effortlessly crafted fiddle arabesques. Each successive line sounds like it is courteously inviting the previous one to contineu an impossibly graceful dance. ****
