As you know we don't trouble you with non-FoF news but we have made an
exception in the case of Frigg - our friends from Finland. If you haven't
caught them yet then we really recommend you try to. See the short list of
dates coming up in November below - I hope there's one near enough to you. Well
worth the effort!
More tour news later in the year.
All the best,

Reeling from
their UK debut year - they dazzled Celtic Connections, The Scots
Fiddle Festival, The Sage Gateshead, Bury Met, Bury St Edmunds Apex, Wiltshire
Music Centre, Cambridge Folk Festival? - this young international
fiddle septet return for more. Featuring the premier talents of a young
generation of folk musicians, Frigg has developed a blend of their own called Nordgrass,
a mix of Nordic folk and American bluegrass. A hair-raising, voice-losing,
heart-burstingly beautiful gig full of traditional Finnish tunes with Norwegian
detours. Energy, fun, humour and interaction are Frigg?s most important virtues
on any gig. Powerfolk and perfect! Cd Polka V www.frigg.fi
