The Scottish/Norwegian duo of Alasdair Roberts and Fredrik Rasten fuses their
respective work with traditional music, folk song and experimental minimalism. Their
first encounter was in the septet ‘Alasdair Roberts og Völvur’, which released the LP
«The Old Fabled River» on Drag City Records in 2021, featuring Roberts-originals
and a blend of Scottish and Norwegian traditional songs. In duo, Roberts and Rasten
have so far focussed on traditional Scottish narrative ballads, often with long
durations, and where slowly evolving musical materials build up throughout the
strophic verse-structure to emphasise the storytelling. The duo employs both field
recordings and printed sources of traditional song as the basis of their
interpretations, often evolving new original compositions and always resulting in a
meeting point between time-honoured and contemporary forms of musical
expression. Both musicians sing and play a variety of instruments, Roberts’ clear
and unadorned vocal delivery blending with Rasten’s sensibilities of just intonation
tuning and timbral qualities of sound.

Carningli Nights Out FAQ's

What drinks will be available?

You're in luck on the beer front! We will have a wide selection of our own beers available on tap at every event. If beer isn't your thing, we also serve wine, cider, soft drinks and alcohol free beers.

We do not serve spirits.

We do not allow people to bring their own drinks into the venue - anybody found with their own drinks will be asked to leave. Please don't make us do that!

Do you have a card machine?

We do have a card machine but we’re not able to offer cashback & signal is sometimes unreliable, it’s best to bring cash for the bar & food.

Can I bring my dog?

Well-behaved dogs are very welcome during regular taproom opening hours, but our bigger events are not suitable for dogs, they are very busy and noisy. If you are unclear, please get in touch with us.

When visiting during taproom opening hours, please remember that the Brewery is on a working farm, and ensure that your dogs are supervised at all times and on short leads. There are working dogs on-site.

Can I book a taxi?

Local taxi firm Home James Taxis will be available to help you get home. We are very much "out in the sticks" and don't have taxis passing the venue regularly, we also don't have the best phone signal - so we strongly recommend pre-booking your taxi. Our events are usually wrapped up by 11/11.30 and everybody off site by midnight - if that helps with working out when to book your taxi home.

Where can I park? (CNO)

There is limited parking at the Brewery. We would appreciate it if you could car share where possible.

Will there be food? (CNO)

There will be no food available at our smaller events.
