Valtos and The Official Folk Album Chart

Anna Massie is joined by electro-trad duo Valtos for the launch of their debut eponymous album plus we have the Official Folk Album Chart rundown

Electro-trad duo Valtos are live on Travelling Folk to launch their ground breaking self-titled debut album, which will be available from Friday 10th June. The record from the Skye-based pair is a β€œlove letter to the Highlands, islands and Gaelic community” and breaks the mould with a unique and innovative genre-bending sound. Valtos members Martyn MacDonald and Daniel Docherty join Anna to chat about folktronica and the inspiration they draw from the rich traditional music and stunning beauty of Skye.

Plus Anna has the Official Folk Album Chart with new entries from Heidi Talbot and Kate Rusby.
