Mike & Solveig

Glasgow

https://mikeandsolveig.bandcamp.com

Mike & Solveig are bedrocks of the Glasgow music scene, much respected players in Scotland´s thriving musical city for the past 17 years. Describing their sound as experimental folk, they play original songs and instrumentals, drawing from the same well as musical adventurers The Incredible String Band, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Moondog, Syd Barrett, Bert Jansch and Ivor Cutler. Mike Hastings sings and plays guitar, banjo and drumstick, and Solveig Askvik sings and plays the fiddle and glockenspiel.

Mike Hastings´ main band is legendary psychedelic rock act The Trembling Bells. He is also part of Mike Heron´s band (The incredible String Band), and has played with Bill Odham (Bonnie Prince Billy), Scott Fagan, and Peter Daltrey (Kaleidoscope) . Solveig was previously also part of Mike Heron´s band, before leaving to move back to Bergen in Norway.

“Mike & Solveig[´s] 2015 album “Here Comes Today“ is an understated joy“
Jon Dale, Uncut, March 2018

“[Mike & Solveig] have been key players in the Glasgow psych-folk scene for the past decade or so. [...] Mike’s intricate fingerpicked guitar interweaves with Solveig’s sliding fiddle lines in finely-crafted tales recalling the best of the Scottish folk tradition.“
Celtic Music Radio, Glasgow
