If you guys would like to listen to Hardanger-fiddles played in a traditional way with a new - or "modern" twist to it - look up a CD with "Spindel". This is a group of musicians from Bergen, excellent players, composers and performers. Their last CD is called "Aminje" which is an old norwegian term for "resting your mind" or something like that. I have been travelling a lot in Ireland and in my opinion the traditional music in Ireland and Norway has a lot in common.
