Collaborations are almost a theme in Songlines Encounters 2013 – a whole range of Eastern European flavours on the opening night, guitarist John Williams with the Palestinian Duo Sabil, and Latin jazz connecting with Mali and Bangladesh. Plus the chance to encounter rare instruments like the quarter-tone accordion, the Georgian panduri and the Senegalesehoddu. A thrilling selection of up and coming names from those in the know.
