Thread Name: Review: Scandanavian Folk Tunes Site
Subject: RE: Review: Scandanavian Folk Tunes Site
Folketshus was based in that building. The spillefolk site used to be named accordingly, part of the same domain. I first heard about that site several years ago, and no sooner had I heard about it than the state's actions disrupted it. Took me a while to figure out where it had gone, and the disruption was the only reason I ever got to hear about the takeover of the building.

So, maintaining a folk music archive was one of the anti-social activities on your list.

I can't imagine how a festival like Tonder (not the most internationist one around, but not that parochial either) manages to keep going in a country where so many people are hostile to the rest of Europe - popular votes on EU-related issues have been consistently more xenophobic even than in England.
