Nordic Fiddlers Bloc

Just found myself another favorite group of Fiddlers! 

The members: Kevin Henderson (Fiddle) is from the Shetland, Olav Luksengård Mjelva (Hardanger Fiddle & Octave Fiddle) is from Norway, and Anders Hall (Viola & Fiddle) is from Sweden - a great mix of Fiddle backgrounds! 

Fjellvåk (Mountain Bird)  "Written by John Ole Morken and co-written by Annlaug Børsheim and Olav L. Mjelva."  I have to make this a priority to learn! 

 

Another fabulous tune from Olav Luksengård Mjelva - Deliverance! 

 

Kevin Henderson wrote these fun tunes - LOVE THEM!

The more of their music I hear, the more I like!

Think I better learn something here!

Adam's Nightmare - Nordic Fiddlers Bloc.  Kevin composed this for a friend (great story in video description) - LOVE this!  It's on the Bonfrost album.

 

 

Here's a little more info on Nordic Fiddlers Bloc:

Really interesting part of a podcast interview by Julie Amacher, at 'Your Classical' Minnesota Public Radio (06/09/2021)!

Nothing like great music with a story! 🤗
