I have acctually never heard this tune. Anyone know what it's called? http://www.nordicfolk.com/blog/index.php/2008/10/12/new-bingsjo-waltz/ I found a video from the user aols23, who has many good videos (who is this guy?). Ellika plays an orsa polska and it's really nice to see how she handles the violin. This is also an orsa polska played on a viola. Nice sound! As you might know, I ... http://www.nordicfolk.com/blog/index.php/2008/08/24/ellika-frisell-on-youtube/ For you who were not at Bingsjöstämman I have gathered a photo set for you. This is also for you who want to know what it's like. Also I have recorded my first video in my new apartment in Linköping. See more here. http://www.nordicfolk.com/blog/index.php/2008/07/28/bingsjo-photos/ This is a really good tune played by Magnus Holmström. Pelle Björnlert and Johan Hedin plays many tunes by Sven Donat. The style is really interesting, baroque but still folky. Magnus plays the tune more like a classical dalecarlia-polska with the emphasis on the one and the three, instead of the ... http://www.nordicfolk.com/blog/index.php/2008/06/01/magnus-holmstrom-plays-sven-donat/ I was so psyched when I found this video on youtube. Påhl Olle is one of the best fiddlers ever in the Swedish, and his way of harmony fiddling was arguably the best ever. In this video he plays a tune that I know as "Grändörpolska" from Boda. He plays the ... http://www.nordicfolk.com/blog/index.php/2008/05/25/pahl-olle-on-youtube/ Joel Bremer is the name of one of the best traditional young fiddlers of Sweden. He has really been going for genuine tradition fiddling, and also for technical mastery. On his youtube page a series of videos are available. I am posting some videos where he plays some Bingsjö tunes. Joel ... http://www.nordicfolk.com/blog/index.php/2008/05/13/joel-bremer/ My old classmate from Jonnykursen, Malungs folkhögskola, has graduated from Ingesund's musical high school (högskola på svenska). Above is a funny tune from Hälsingland. Dan is also playing in a group called Barskkvartetten, which is an interesting group. I have been interested in hearing folk music with the setting of a ... http://www.nordicfolk.com/blog/index.php/2008/05/02/dan-palmqvist-graduation-concert/ Mattias Pérez Trio "MP3" (Nordic Tradition) *** MP3, som Mattias Peréz trio kallas, är en trio som spelar folkmusik mestadels med ursprung i Värmland. Sättningen är två fioler och en gitarr, på skivan även uppblandat med sång och lite munspel. MP3 har spelat mycket till dans, och det hörs. På skivan hörs de välkända låtar ... http://www.nordicfolk.com/blog/index.php/2007/07/29/mattias-perez-trio-mp3/ I stumble upon this nice video of Ranarim while browsing youtube. When I listened to their record I didn't care much for this tune but now it feels better. Really good folk-pop! I also found this video of Ranarim in a duet with scottish folk group Malinky. They sing one verse ... http://www.nordicfolk.com/blog/index.php/2007/07/14/ranarim-video/ Just saw this video by Kärlekskollektivet from the world championships of studentspelsmanslag.
