At Indiefjord we enjoy introducing our international audience to traditional Norwegian music. The local troupe The Springar frå Søre Sunnmøre Missionaries (brand new name for the occasion) will be performing at the free Notanaustet boathouse concert Saturday 14 July!
Anna Liv S. Gjendem, John Inge Leira Bjøringsøy, Cecilie Rørstad and Per Magnus Finnanger Sandsmark will be dancing the traditional dance "Springar", with Anne Kristin Moe playing the Hardanger fiddle. The Springar is one of the oldest dances in Norway that is still being danced.
This particular variety of Springar is local to our area of Norway - pretty sure it's not on the line-up of any other indiepop festivals we know of. Our festival is not just about bringing indiepop to the fjords, it's about bringing you the music of the fjord people.
