For our first Raw Tunes Radio program of 2010 we are in the home of Anne Sofie Linge Valdal in Edinburgh. Anne Sofie plays us some tunes on the Norwegian overtone flute, also known as the willow flute, and tells us about it's origins. She is joined for a few tunes by her sister Inguunon the fiddle.
As well as hearing some live tunes and chat from Anne Sofie and Inguun we will hear a few tracks featuring the willow flute -
Seljefloyta, playing "Sparklausen Halling"
& Blamann Blamann, playing "Trollspringar" & "Trollhalling".
