The Celtic/Nordic quartet Swåp play fiddler Ola Bäckström's tune about his violin-maker. Such great facial exchanges between them all!

Great playing: swing and dynamics. Great arrangement: dynamics and 'shape' moving the tune along very nicely. A video I have to immediately listen to again. And now want hear more of Swap.

What a great video, thank you!! One of the best bands EVER!

[@brianfinley6798]

The BEST band...ever. Maybe the Louis Armstrong Hot Seven approach this, or The Beatles. Maybe. My money's on these guys.

we are talking about Karen Tweed. She helped my personal favourite Sharon Shannon. Yes shes Irish

[@drummerboy1390]

For the record and not that it makes any difference to her brilliance, Karen Tweed is English, born and raised in London. If you heard her speak you’d realise she’s not Irish.
