about

Why combine Norwegian Hardanger fiddle tunes with Irish reels and jigs? The starting point is wholly personal, and springs from how I got to know two very different musicians: Salve Austenå taught me to play the Hardanger fiddle over many years; Micho Russell taught me some tin whistle tunes over a period of a few days when he was in Norway 1978/79. Salve and Micho became two of the most important sources of inspiration for me. This of course applied to the music they played, but even more so to how they communicated: how the focus was always on the joy of playing and the joy of sharing a situation with others who appreciated the music. When I learned songs from them, they were of course concerned that I should learn them as well as possible; but at the same time, it was clear that the songs then became mine, and that I had to give them my own touch. Now it was up to me to use the music I had been given to create memorable times in front of an audience, either with a small group of close friends or in a larger concert.
