Rayna Gellert is an Old Time American fiddler and singer-songwriter with deep roots in American traditional music that has led to her collaborating with artists such as Sara Watkins, Abigail Washburn and Loudon Wainwright III.
I ask Rayna about keeping folk music alive and the links between old time and celtic trad. We also talk about her latest album ‘Workin’s Too Hard’ – a collection of original and traditional songs.
Rayna is touring Northern Ireland at the start of February at the following venues:
Wed 1 Feb: Strule Arts Centre, Omagh
Thu 2 Feb: Bangor Castle, Bangor
Fri 3 Feb: Island Arts Centre, Lisburn
Sat 4 Feb: Roe Valley Arts Centre, Limavady
Sun 5 Feb: Crescent Arts centre, Belfast
For tickets and more information on the tour visit the Moving on Music website.

The Jewel Case broadcasts Tuesdays at 8pm on Lisburn’s 98FM, Bangor FM and FM105 Down Community Radio.
