GUEST,Barry Winkworth Origins: Hamborgar etter Lars Lefdalsnes (16) Origins: Hamborgar etter Lars Lefdalsnes 27 Aug 20


Since posting a link to Boreas' version of North Sea Holes on another thread, I've been listening again to their album Ahoy Hoy.

Well worth buying!

I've been able to track down information on three of the four tunes played in Track 6 Happy Set (that is, Bat’ an Tàilleir [The Tailor’s Stick],The Shepherd’s Crook and Geld Him Lasses, Geld Him but I can't find anything on the first tune, Hamborgar etter Lars Lefdalsnes

A cracking tune; can anyone shed any light on its origins or history, please?

Liner notes say it's traditional.

The title seems to translate as Hamburger after Lars Lefdalsnes?.

Who was Lars Lefdalsnes? Does Hamborgar mean something other than a meaty patty in Norway?

A google search just leads to the Boreas album.

Bandcamp link: Boreas - Happy Set

All the best,
Barry
