A few days on and we are finally emerging from the post-Indiefjord bubble. We, the Indiefjord organisers, have been left speechless and overwhelmed (in a very positive way) for the last few days.
Never ever ever did we think our festival for friends and friends of friends would actually appeal to so many. <3 <3 Personally, I cannot describe that feeling of seeing my favourite bands live in my favourite village by my favourite fjord, and hanging out with some of the best people you could choose to hang out with.
There have been so many special moments, and I still pinch myself to check whether it was all some crazy surreal dream. The mix of locals and visitors and bands from far away was just heartwarming to say the least. Friendship, love & music.
It's all you need. heart emoticon I totally felt the love from all of you this weekend and it will keep me going for another year, and... it looks like Indiefjord might have to become a yearly thing. In my family, if something happens twice, it is tradition...
But first we will have to rest and try to process these wonderful dreamlike memories and understand that they were in fact, reality.
THANK YOU TO: The villagers of Bjørke who welcomed us for the second year in a row. heart emoticon! Bands, DJs and volunteers who did a priceless job, too many to be mentioned, but you know who you are! A special shout-out to Cecilie Rørstad and Bjarte Sellereite though, who went above and beyond, and to "tante Palma" Sandvik, honourary Indiefjord member, for always being such a wonderful support!
