Sounds good!
I was performing in Denmark and Iceland last year, but this year the farthest I have gotten so far is Mississippi.

My duo, Darkwood Consort has a new CD coming out next month. You can sample a few tracks on our my space site. Our first CD, Tro og Håb Spiller was mostly 20th century Danish and 14th century Italian, but our new one, Cafe Musik, is more folk based, with Medieval to modern works from Greece, Denmark, Sweden, France and North America.

Hi, I'm still here. In the northeastern U.S. it's hard to find live
performances of Nordic music. A few years back when there concerts,
there was buzz. Now there's zzz. I still enjoy my cd's, but it's a
more solitary thing, you know? But if anyone wants to recommend a great
cd, I'm all ears! Tee

p.s. thanks for mentioning the blog!
p.p.s. it's possible that some list members hit their "junk" button by
mistake when they saw spam from the list and wound up blocking it.

Hi Peter,

for me there was quite something. Though being rather rainy I enjoyed
being at Korro for the first time. Nice little festival with loads of
great music and and dancing. Vasen (Trio) and Ranarim being the hot spots,
but countless others to follow closely. I also got hold of some
fascinating albums by artists I didn't know before like Raun or finally
Hurdy Gurdy Project - very special what both get out of this instrument.
Besides that I was dancing (and teaching) a lot both in Sweden and
Germany, basically to rather traditional music - Nyckelharpsfolket would
be one to name here.

Cheers
Klaus

PS: Are you also on the "newnordicroots" list? I will send this to both in
any case.
