GUEST,Wotcha Anyone for Nordic traditional music? (54* d) RE: Anyone for Nordic traditional music? 29 Jun 10


Just a few hours from moving to Stavanger ... and kicking myself for missing the Stord Fest (south of Bergen) which features their local group the Storm Weather Shanty "choir." Will be collecting Nordic sea chanteys when I can and reviving singarounds in the local area.

My mother worked in the British Embassy and High Commission in Stockholm in the late 40s (she was also a governess for the family of the Olympics chairman of the time) and she passed on her collection of Finnish books including an English translation of the Kalevala, so have some winter reading ahead ...

May have to learn Nye Norsk to learn the older songs, since Bokmal is unlikely to capture ancient songs.

Cheers, Ha det bra

Wotcha
Brian
