Further Information We dance with the Devil from the world of Scots fiddling to the Appalachian Mountains of the American South. En route we take in devilishly difficult tricks and trills from Italy to Argentina, all performed by City of London Sinfonia's leader Alexandra Wood. This fiery fiddling with 'Auld Hornie' finishes with a roasting Burns Night revel, with our friends Licence to Ceilidh.
