The Jaron Freeman-Fox w/Simon Nyberg + Big Fiddle Little Fiddle house concert was a wonderful time! 50 people crowded into Lou's beautiful kitchen for a super-fun night of sounds and stories, thanks to everyone who came along! Lou served up delicious Georgian salad at interval, out on her patio under the fairy lights, it was magical. Here are some shots of the action, taken by photographer extraordinaire Adam Purcell of www.melbourneceilicamera.org:

Warn the neighbours! The usual sound of 16 strings emanating from our house will be amplified with an extra 24 when Canadian fiddler Jaron Freeman-Fox and Swedish guitarist Simon Nyberg crash the neighbourhood to play some tunes, with Big Fiddle Little Fiddle w/ Volga Tunca adding our own musical capers.

Jaron Freeman-Fox (fiddle, viola d’amore, throat singing) and Simon Nyberg (twelve string guitar) will share their Scandinavian explorations, Siberian extrapolations, Balkan exacerbations, and Carnatic interpolations! Souls bared, secrets shared, and ways fared.
​
For those with omnivorous fiddle tastes and a bent for the ringing sounds of 40 resonant and sympathetic strings, get along to TryBooking, grab a ticket and get the address, and come and join us in the kitchen.

Big Fiddle Little Fiddle's long awaited album, The Kitchen Project, will be released later this year. This project, produced by Louise Godwin, Jessica Foot and Mischa Herman, was recorded by Mischa in Lou's kitchen. The album features 12 tracks of traditional and original compositions, arranged by Jess and Lou, with three tracks featuring Volga Tunca on darabuka, daf and percussion. The album will be available for download shortly. In the meantime, the tracks can be heard HERE, and CDs ordered via our contact page.

On Sunday 29 July, Big Fiddle Little Fiddle was delighted to launch a series of fundraising concerts presented by the Boîte in support of the 40th anniversary celebrations in 2019.  Since 1979, The Boîte has been a gathering space for musicians, artists, dancers, writers and storytellers who have found their home in Melbourne. 

Thanks to the Cygnet Folk Festival dance program, Jess and Lou had the chance to share a stage with two of their all time favourite musicians, Josefina Paulson and Jonas Akerlund.
