Eluveitie's Anna Murphy Explains The Hurdy-Gurdy

The Swiss pagan/folk metal band Eluveitie has been earning a stellar reputation, both on disc and in performance, over the last few years. They released one disc, 2006's Spirit, before signing with Nuclear Blast - since then they've put out two electric albums, 2008's Slania and the new Everything Remains As It Never Was, and an acoustic disc, 2009's Evocation I - The Arcane Dominion. What makes Eluveitie cool is that unlike many of their peers, they actually play traditional instruments onstage rather than just programming a synth to sound like a bagpipe or a fiddle. One of the most interesting instruments in the group's arsenal is the hurdy-gurdy, a stringed thing that's played by turning a crank. When the group came to New York recently, opening for Amon Amarth, I got their hurdy-gurdy player and sometime singer, Anna Murphy, to demonstrate and explain the instrument. Here's the video.
