‘Bellevue Rendezvous are an inventive Scottish based trio of Gavin Marwick (fiddle), Cameron Robson (cittern, jaw harp) and Ruth Morris (nyckelharpa), plundering Europe for strange and interesting tunes. The nyckelharpa is a traditional Swedish instrument, a beautifully toned keyed fiddle in the viola register, rarely seen in the UK. With a collective CV that encompasses some of Scotland’s most fascinating outfits – including Unusual Suspects, Cantrip and Iron Horse – they draw on music and traditions as diverse as Serbia, Macedonia, Poland, Canada, France and Finland to create the quirkily alluring instrumental interplay that makes their Salamander CD one of the albums of the year’.
Formed in 2006 Band Members :- Gavin Marwick / Ruth Morris / Cameron Robson
They have all gigged with numerous bands and collaborations over the years from Gavin with Iron Horse/ RSNO / Jimi Sandrix Experience/ Malinky / Session A9 / Sogdiana / and The Unusual Suspects and his own project Journeyman.
