Basco

"Dazzling Basco were definitely the weekends most popular discovery, with tremendous ensemble verve and richly textured arrangements"
- The Scotsman

Basco are a fiddle-scraping, box-belting, cittern-smacking folk/roots band with members from Denmark, Sweden and Australia. Basco's material is nearly all original, stealing shamelessly and frivolously from Scandinavian, English, Celtic and American idioms to create a kind of organic, soupy stew - full of vitamins and anti-oxidants.

Basco's album The Crow in the Walnut Tree was nominated for Debut of the Year Danish Music Awards 2009. Their second Album "Big Basco" was released in October 2011, awarded with "Singer of the Year" DMA-Folk 2012, and nominated for "Album of the Year" as well as "Live Act of the Year". Their third album, "The Remarkable Return of Old Man Basco" was released in September 2013. The cittern maestro Ale Carr was awarded Artist of the Year at DMA-Folk 2013 and Best Composer in 2015.
