Frevo Quartet
Matthew McAllister and Feargus Hetherington (violin) have been performing as a duo for several years. The genesis of this new quartet was borne out of a successful collaboration on their 2005 album, Maelasta, which saw Aisling Agnew (flute) and Douglas Whates (bass) join the duo for Piazzolla’s Libertango and Gismonti’s Agua e Vinho. The sound was addictive and the joy of playing together was such that it proved only a matter of time before the new quartet emerged.
The unusual combination of instruments emotes a distinctive sound – one that is more synonymous with traditional Latin American music than Western art music. Whether it’s a simple Cuban habanera or a fiery Argentinian tango, the quartet relish this rich tradition, delivering fascinating arrangements and interesting twists on repertoire both old and new.
Matthew McAllister – classical and 12-string guitars
Aisling Agnew – flute
Feargus Hetherington – violin
Douglas Whates – double bass
The quartet will give their debut concert at Dundee International Guitar Festival 2007. McAllister, Hetherington, Agnew, Whates will open the late night concert series after the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet’s opening night recital.

Heard the Quartet on the Crail recording, Maelasta. Enjoyed the “fat” sound which the addition of the bass provided. Looking forward to hearing more of this combination at Dundee. Danny
