Lizzie Oggle at Sahara Nights

We’re featuring today our great Scottish violinist performing at Sahara Nights

Lizzie Oggle is a violinist, singer and percussionist who first visited the Saharawi refugee camps in 2007. She plays celtic-influenced alt-folk music in a band called Blue Rose Code, who has just been on a UK tour and are about to release a debut album, and she plays (and learns) a style of roots music from the north-east of Brazil called maracatu. 

Collaborating with Saharawi musicians in the camps remains a seminal experience for her as a musician. She also currently works as a Peaceworker for Quaker Peace and Social Witness.

​This is a video of Blue Rose Code with Lizzy as violinist.
