This is what happiness looks like

This is what happiness looks like /// this is why we do it. Great memories from The Tuts' headline set, Indiefjord 2016.

Photos: Horatio Earl Monge.18.07.2016 > This is why we do it / We wanna say thanks. ** This is why we do it / We wanna say thanks A week ago our Indiefjord guests and bands ferried across the fjord and back to their homes, wherever in the world they may be.

But for one weekend this year, Bjørke was our joint home, and such a happy one - a pocket of calm, harmony, beautiful music and beautiful souls - in a world that can be exhausting and chaotic.

We are no longer sure who Team Indiefjord really is, cause it seems to be all of you who were there, the bands and DJs, the guests, the volunteers, the people of Bjørke (more than anything), the caterers, the people who hosted guests, those who organised activities and mini concerts, the artists who painted the beautiful art that was on display, you're all part of our large extended family.

It's hard to put into words, and to even mention names, as there were so many.

But we will try... <3 In addition to those mentioned above, a special thanks to: Skjåstaddalen Frilynde Ungdomsslag and Perry Bjørke and all the helpers from Bjørke (Eivind Skjerdal and many more), Hjørundfjord Sogelag, Bjørke/Storfjord Kyrkje and minister Espen Aarseth, Ørsta Kommune, SpareBank 1 Søre Sunnmøre, Bjarte Sellereite and Cecilie Rørstad, John Inge Leira Bjøringsøy and his whole family, Jon Egil Finnes and Randi Finnes, Solveig Pia Nikkinen and Kjetil Rørstad, our excellent and ever-patient sound/lights team Vemund Vasshaug and Martinus Magneson as well as their helpers Markus Bjørlykke and Elias Johan Liavaag, Ola Laurits Hjørungnes for awesome runner skills and for keeping us calm, fed and relatively awake/asleep depending on the time of day, Marita Bett Aakreand the rest of the team at Bakketunet på Bjørke, Craig Clark, Kieran Toms, Maria Nikkinen Rørstad and Torbjørn Saure, Ulises Palacio and Camila Furey (for bringing Argentina, dreamy guitar solos and yoga to Bjørke), Sverre B.

So many to thank, so we probably have forgotten to mention some names. We are grateful to everyone of you.

And particularly for respecting the surroundings of Bjørke, keeping it tidy and clean - and a friendly place to be - during our little festival and in everyday life. Love, the Indiefjord family Photos in this post by Eline Viddal Rød.
