DESCRIPTION:
Alkinoos Ioannidis with special guest Karine Polwart and support - Celtic Connections 2014

The Greek-Cypriot singer-songwriter -- a major folk hero back home, seeking connections with Scottish and international musicians. Thus began his collaboration with Karine Polwart, the two swiftly finding common ground in their songs' poetically probing approach, their deeply-felt political and philosophical concerns -- Ioannidis being a vocal commentator on his homeland's current travails -- and their meticulously crafted lyricism.
