SALAMANDER is the excellent second album from acoustic instrumental trio Bellevue Rendezvous. Sensitive and dynamic arrangements showcase original material and tunes from across Europe. An dros, freilachs, reels and other dance tunes interweave effortlessly with airs and performance pieces. This is an honest and intimate album recorded almost entirely live with a minimum of overdubs.
Bellevue Rendezvous features an unusual combination of instruments - the line up is Gavin Marwick (fiddle), Ruth Morris, (nyckelharpa) and Cameron Robson (cittern/ jaw harp). The nyckelharpa, rarely seen in the UK, is a beautifully toned instrument in the viola register with many resonant strings which give it a rich full sound. It has a darker, grainier tone than the fiddle which allows for greater depth in the interplay between the instruments. The cittern supplies much more than rhythm, with creative use of chords and harmony. Their shows keep concert hall audiences enthralled and dance floors full.
Songlines said of their first album Tangents (2007): "Together, the three instrumentalists combine to create a detailed, vibrant and expansive sound and there's an ocean of lyricism here."
Recorded at Castlesound with assistance from the SAC, Salamander (JYM002) is released on the band's Journeyman label and distributed by Proper Music Distribution. Also available: Tangents (JYM001).

I had never heard of Bellevue Rendezvous before but picked this up after reading a favourable review in a Sunday paper. Although a Scottish band Bellevue Rendezvous play a wide and eclectic European repertoire with tunes from the Balkans, Polish klezmer and Scandinavian polka all represented.
The majority of these instrumentals are faster and dance orientated tunes and keeping you feet still is near impossible, listening to this on the train I found my feet constantly fidgeting to the annoyance of some of my fellow commuters. The fiddle and jaw harp on `Firedance Parts I & II' are irresistible!
This is world music for people that don't like world music. An excellent introduction to a wealth of wonderful tunes and styles that I guarantee you will want to follow up. If you are a fan of Peatbog Faeries, Shooglenifty or the 3 Daft Monkeys check them out.
