They met while both studying at the Sibelius Academy, and now reunite over a common love of tunes, playfulness and dance music. Swedish, Finnish, Cornish and modernish folk music all finds a home in their able hands. Expect the unexpected, bring your own mustard. “Charming, warm and playful.” Lira “Life and colour” Folk Radio UK /// Andrew Parr Andrew Parr trained as a dancer at the Eric Sahlström Institute in Tobo (Sweden). His teaching is both thorough and inspiring and he currently works as one of the Third Beat Collective running Swedish dance workshops all over England. Andrew is a talented musician as well as a wonderful dancer and he looks forward to working with all of us! In particular he’d like to help musicians (who may miss the regular dance workshops) to feel more at home on the dance floor. Vedi meno
