Vicki Swan and Jonny Dyer are two of the most versatile musicians on the dance circuit today. Vicki studied at the Royal College of Music on the double bass, and now plays various types of bagpipes, flute and nyckelharpa. Jonny was classically trained as a pianist and trumpet player, and now specialises in traditional music from the British Isles and Scandinavia; primarily on harpsichord, piano, bouzouki and cowhorn(!). Their music is both hauntingly beautiful and irresistibly danceable.
