AEDÍN IN THE AFTERNOON

Aedín gets us in the mood for the long weekend with her usual eclectic selection of music. Caimin Gilmore is one of Ireland’s leading young double bassists, and we’ll take a  listen to his new album out today, BlackGate which marks his emergence as a major new compositional voice. A fine selection of Norwegian musicians today too, violinist Mari Samuelsen, pianist Leif Ove Andsnes and singer-songwriter Ane Brun.
