Description:
Aly Bain and Ale Möller -- Fully Rigged
The Shetland Islands are situated in the North Sea between Scotland and Norway. Originally settled by Norwegian farmers and the Vikings in the 9th century, the old music of the Shetlands displays the islands' Nordic lineage. While many associate the Shetland and Orkney Islands with Scotland and the Celtic culture, the music of this project reveals the real depth of its Norse heritage.
This long awaited Aly/Ale release from NorthSide was inspired by a surprise performance at Nordic Roots Festival 2000. Fully Rigged is where two traditional music virtuosos named Aly/e collide together and knock your socks off with their mastery of instruments and tunes, bringing Celtic and Nordic musics together for an exciting voyage.

Reviews
- "Both Bain and Möller play extraordinarily well together: tempos are as fluid as dynamics, alternately swelling and receding with seeming abandon, each musician following the other's lead through sword dances and wedding marches." -- The Local Planet
- "Ultimately, this album shows just how much cultures merge and mingle into each other over time, and such wonderful playing -- it's impossible to fault this pair, who fits together as if they'd been musical partners for years -- makes everything seem natural." --
