Bruce Sagan is a respected performer, teacher, and composer of Scandinavian music and has been awarded the Swedish Zorn Diploma in Bronze for his playing. Brad Battey started Scandinavian fiddling with Bruce when he was a wee thing of 12 years old, but has been playing for contra dances for as long as he can remember. Brad and Bruce are especially fond of the nyckelharpa, or keyed fiddle, which is the national instrument of Sweden. Their music will set your toes to tapping and your hands to clapping!
