  • Bio

    A Kelpie is a spirit in Scottish mythology who appears at the waterside disguised as a beautiful white horse. Once mounted the unsuspecting rider is taken to the bottom of the loch never to be seen again. In Norway it is the water troll „Nøkken” who lives in a lake, occasionally surfacing to lure people to their doom. The duo KELPIE, Kerstin Blodig and Ian Melrose, also lure (do they look innocent?) - but into concerts, hoping that after this acoustic experience you’ll never be the same again! Touring regularly with the group NORLAND WIND (featuring Thomas Loefke and Padraig and Noel Duggan from CLANNAD), they discovered their mutual attraction towards musical experimentation, letting unusual harmonic textures and rhythms flirt with traditional Celtic and Scandinavian music. Ian..s exquisite fingerstyle guitar combined with Kerstin..s groovy plectrum technique is the basis of the special Kelpie sound. When Kerstin’s clear and vibrant voice intertwines with Ian’s languid low whistle, when Ian’s imaginative guitar riffs dance around Kerstin’s mischievous bouzouki lines, there arises an exciting blend of old and new - intricate vocal and instrumental arrangements with room for improvisation and spontaneous ideas...
