Firelight Trio are...Gavin Marwick on  the fiddle, Ruth Morris on  nyckelharpa and Phil Alexander on accordion and piano.

Driving fiddle and stately nyckelharpa meet deep accordion grooves in a rich tapestry of lively Swedish polskas and Scottish reels, lilting French waltzes, toe-tapping klezmer, dazzling original tunes and more. 

Three friends, six instruments, a world of great tunes and striking arrangements. Firelight Trio brings together musicians from Moishe's Bagel, Gavin Marwick's Journeyman, and Bellevue Rendezvous to create a mighty sound that is exciting, wideranging, and richly textured. Ruth's resonant nyckelharpa is matched by Gav's powerhouse fiddle, all backed up by Phil's groovily inventive accordion and piano. Funded by Creative Scotland, the band's eponymous debut album is a journey of influences and stories, reflecting the wealth of musical experience each band member brings. It's a recording that will always reveal something new, and although the emphasis is on original compositions, the trio also treats some lesser-known traditional material to a radical makeover.
