Paddy Callaghan sits in with a live session from the incredible Swedish duo Dråm.

Paddy Callaghan sits in with news of this weekend's Edinburgh International Harp Festival and a live session from visiting act, the incredible Swedish duo Dråm.

The 42nd Edinburgh International Harp Festival takes place this weekend! Harpist Rachel Hair joins Paddy live to talk about all the incredible concerts, courses and workshops happening in our capital city over the weekend.

Visiting the festival are two of Sweden's finest musicians. Erik Ask-Upmark and Anna Rynefors both hold the title of “Riksspeleman” or "Official Master Musicians of the Realm" - the most prestigious honour bestowed upon a performer of traditional music in Sweden. Together, they’re known as Dråm and have gained international reputation as guardians of the rich treasure trove of Swedish traditional music. Dråm join Paddy live in session with a host of Nordic sounds - including the nyckelharpa (a keyed fiddle), the säckpipa (Swedish bagpipes), the härjedalspipa (wooden flute) and, of course, the harp.
