May Monday & Friends tomorrow, Wednesday 25 September 7.30pm
What a line-up!

21/09/2024

This is going to be fabulous and you can tune in from anywhere in the world!

May Monday & Friends is a collaboration between Karen Tweed (piano accordion) and Timo Alakotila (piano), which began when they met at Halkær Kro Festival in Denmark. What makes this collaboration so special is Karen and Timo's ability to marry together a wide range of musical styles - from reels and polskas to tangos and airs. They'll be joining us live from beautiful Orkney on 1st October, as part of their 25th anniversary tour. Tune in live, or watch on catch up for 72 hours after the show. Link below for more details!

On top form as he celebrates 50+ years on the road and introduces songs from his forthcoming release “Last Call”.
