Culture Break: String Sisters Play "Luseblus" (Update)

I first heard this song when I reviewed the String Sisters Live album from their 2005 concert in Norway. It became my immediate favorite.


One enterprising soul managed to upload the whole concert at YouTube. It's worth watching. There's some amazing music being made there.

I should have thought of this earlier: Personnel, from stage right to left (I hope I've got it right): Emma Hardelin (Sweden); Catriona MacDonald (Scotland [Shetland]); Annbjørg Lien (Norway); Liz Knowles (U.S.A.); Liz Carroll (U.S.A.); Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh (Ireland); backup is David Milligan (piano), Conrad Ivitsky (double bass) (who really gets into it), Tore Bruvoll (guitar) and James Mackintosh (drums).
