From: skarpi Hallo all , when in eurogathering here in Iceland we med a choir from Foreyjar Island ..and we had alot of fun with them , so I had the idea to contact them and see if this is possible , well I got a letter from the leader of choir its in forojan ....and here it is Hey Skarphéðinn! Góðan dagin, takk fyri teldupostin, tú sendi til okkara. Orsakið, at vit svara ikki fyrr enn nú, men kórið hevur verið í summarfrí, og vit byrjaðu ikki at syngja aftur fyrr enn síðst í september. Vit halda, at tað ljóðar spennandi, at tit koma til Føroya næsta ár. Vit høvdu gott og skemtiligt kvøld saman við tykkum á Dubliners í Reykjavík, og vilja vit fegin hitta tykkum aftur her í Føroyum og syngja saman við tykkum. Fleiri tónleikarar eru her í Føroyum, sum spæla tónleik líknandi tykkara, og eg skal royna at finna fram til ein teirra. Í Tórshavn er opnað Irish pub, har er livandi tóinleikur hvørt vikuskifti (helgu). Vit filja fegin hjálpa tykkum, skriva til mín. Blíðar kvøður Glymurs vegna Tóra Hjørleifsdóttir formaður teldupostur: tora.glymur@hotmail.com teli: 298 509386 So if there is any interest for having eurogathering there I will contact them again . All the best Skarpi |

From: open mike http://www.visitfaroeislands.com/ http://www.faroeislands.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faroe_Islands 1/2 way between Great Britain and Iceland... Is it possible that the knitting patterns called Fair Isle come from here? Traditional Fair Isle knitting patterns come from Fair Isle, a small island in the north of Scotland. It is named after Fair Isle, a tiny island in the north of Scotland, that forms part of the Shetland islands. Guess not...Fair Isle is 1/2 way between Shetland and Orkney Not to be confused with Faroe Islands. This band has travelled and played in the Faro islands.. http://www.faerd.com/ thier name means journey |

Faroes sounds attractive, but there's a difficulty next year. A friend of mine has recently moved to Cairo and would like me to come and see her there. Can't do both, I'm afraid - but you never know. |
