Anglim and Gittens

The musical traditions of Ireland stand out through the playing of England-based duo Anglim and Gittens. With Allister Gittens offering warm, classical guitar accompaniment, Irish fiddler Carlene Anglim soars using a seldom noticed brilliance and psychological strength. Regarding to Folkworld, (Anglim) “has with such a deep feeling for the music — she has straight out of her center.” Anglim, who gained the BBC2 Youthful Tradition prize in 1993, garnered acclaim on her behalf fiddling in the original folk music group Bohinta in 1996. She teamed with Gittens the next year.
