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.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
