Carr & Roswall - Time Flies

Finally it's time for the follow up to Step on it, the duo record from 2003 where English guitarist Ian Carr met Swedish nyckelharpist Niklas Roswall. The record garnered great reviews and the duo played intensively for a few years. Along with much touring in the UK, Sweden and Denmark, highlights included a visit to Celtic Connections in Glasgow and representing Sweden at Euromusica in Greece.Fifteen years later the duo has decided to carry on the work they started, with the release of a new album, Time fies, a continuing investigation of the possibilities of what can be played on a guitar and a nyckelharpa, both in newly written and traditional tunes. The format may be small but the sound is big and original with lots of variation and interesting arrangements.Ian Carr is from the Lake District in northern England. He now lives and works in Sweden where he moved in 2001, having visited in 1993 as guitarist in the Kathryn Tickell Band. He was a quarter of the Anglo Swedish band Sw�p from the mid 90's to the mid 00's, simultaneously recording and touring with Kate Rusby, Eddi Reader and Kris Drever. He recently played on Kris Drevers BBC Folk Award winning If Wishes Were Horses and Eddi Readers Cavalier album.Niklas Roswall is from Kverrestad in Sk�ne, southern Sweden. He is a Rikspelman, an accredited Swedish Folk Musician, and a winner of the nyckelharpa world championship. Niklas is educated at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm. He's played in many great Swedish bands including the Nyckelharpa Orchestra, Ranarim and the trio Ahlberg, Ek & Roswall, who recently won Group Of The Year at the Swedish Folk & World Music Gala.
