The prize winning Nordic quintet Basco is made up of Scottish multi-instrumentalist Hal Parfitt-Murray, the Danish Andreas Toph?j and Anders Ringgaard, the virtuoso citternist Ale Carr and the irrepressable Danish/Norwegian singer Jullie Hjetland, and together they rework folk-tales and legends from Scandianavia so they steam with fear and love, violence and merryment, hate and sadness. Basco and Jullie have given the old stories from the north new life with the help of a handful of authors from the nordic countries, counterpointing the tales with elements of smoky scottish reels, flying norwegian halling dances, polkas from a danish summer night, and the echos of the trolls in a deep swedish forest.
