Celtic Connections: Sara Parkman

Swedish folk musician, singer and writer Sara Parkman performs at The Hug and Pint in Glasgow as part of Celtic Connections, the city's winter festival of Celtic and roots music.

Sara Parkman is a Swedish folk musician, singer and writer who performs traditional music. Born in 1989 in Skön, Sweden, Parkman released the debut album Sara Parkmans skog in 2016, and that record is the starting point for any listener approaching the project's recorded work.

This concert forms part of Celtic Connections, Glasgow's annual festival of Celtic and roots music, which brings Scandinavian and other traditional artists into a programme centred on the Celtic tradition. The festival context places this Swedish folk performer alongside a wide range of acoustic and traditional acts.

The Hug and Pint is a Glasgow venue that hosts concerts and shows. For anyone drawn to traditional folk song, this evening offers the chance to hear a Swedish singer and writer working within that tradition, on a visit to Glasgow during the festival.
