BIOGRAPHY

Innovative inspirational Anglo Scandinavian duet Karen Tweed and Timo Alakotila received phenomenal praise and accolades for the artistic grace and beauty of their debut CD May Monday, including ‘Album of the Year’ by BBC Radio 3 presenter, Fiona Talkington.

Part folk, part jazz, part classical inspired, critics hailed it for it's ability to break down musical barriers and now, some seven years later, the duet have reunited to produce an equally beautiful and diverse album.

Midnight May Monday sees the mercurial and mesmerising British accordionist Karen Tweed and the sublimely subtle Finnish pianist Timo Alakotila weaving intricate, yet haunting melodies into vivaciously colourful tapestries of sound.

The new CD brings Tweed and Alakotila’s new compositional work to the fore, while embracing melodies composed by Chris Wood, Andy Cutting, Antti Jarvela, Roger Tallroth and Emma Reid... plus their much loved traditional repertoire.
