Scottish Soffan barndance

A scottishe by Jonas Åkerlund

Paul, do you have any further information about (or other tunes by) this Jonas Åkerlund? The only person of that name I’ve been able to find is a film director who’s done music videos. Same one?

Ahaha no, different Jonas Åkerlund! Here’s his Spotify page: https://open.spotify.com/artist/22XdOILutA9Yx3BmKFfTaD?si=5WrUM8QCTRqbEFnFZ0nSSw

He also plays with Sirus (https://facebook.com/sirusquartet), who play a version of this tune: https://youtu.be/0gVX9a9GdHs

Thanks for this, pbs! I hadn’t come across Sirus: a band to explore, obviously. But I have run into the wonderful Josefina Paulson (on nyckelharpa in this YouTube clip). I’ll post a couple of tunes I learned from her - the Husby Brudmarsch and a Brudmarsch efter Axel Inge.
