Hi! I was attending a nice concert at saturday, Ulrika Bodén was in town with support from Jens Engelbrecht (Ranarim) and Anders Stake/Norudde (Hedningarna)....
For me it was Garmarna's "Vittrad" -- though I had heard the odd bits of Folk & Rackare & Groupa before that, they did not rip the top of my head off as...
I too am glad to see this group revived. Interestingly, it was Vittad by Garmarna that really got me into this wonderful genre of music. I had previously loved...

My first exposure came through Green Linnet who, about a dozen years or so ago, had delved into some music from Scandinavia. I had ordered three Irish CD's...
In the very early 90s I heard a compilation of various nordic bands including Groupa, but it was only when I heard Garmarna's 'Vittrad' and Hedningarna's...
My first experience with Nordic music was a live Vasen concert in 2000. It was then, and remains, the best live performance I have ever seen - and I've seen...
