During the period 16th – 19th of Oktober, my band “Himmerland” will perform in England at a couple of folk clubs and an outstanding world music festival. The folk clubs are the Rivelin Folk Club in Sheffield og and the Hebden Bridge Trades Club i West York, the festival is the Musicport World Music Festival, “the biggest indoor world music festival in UK”.
Musicport World Music Festival is situated in the old whaling town Whitby on the English East coast. This was where the Danish vikings was ravaging many years ago, this is where Captain Cook was trained, and this is where Count Dracula went ashore when coming to England in the late 19th century, according to Bram Stoker legendary novel. I am reading this scary novel with my youngest son (12 Years) right now, and it’s all very exciting!
The festival was started in 2000, and is being financially supported by Arts Council England, and we can’t wait to go!
