Fara brings together four emerging musicians at the forefront of today’s young Scottish folk scene – Jennifer Austin, Kristan Harvey, Jeana Leslie and Catriona Price’s three fiddles and a piano – to produce a fiery sound rooted strongly in their upbringing among the music of Orkney.

Nominees, and performers, at the 2017 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, booked as artiste in residence at Festival Interceltique Lorient 2017, and with return visits scheduled to festivals in the UK and Europe including Cambridge Folk Festival and Tønder Festival, Fara has already established their unique place in the folk scene.
