During the days 9th to 16th of July 2017, Jensen & Bugge + Høirup will be touring Faroe Islands.
We will be performing a number of shows in connection with the local folk festival “Fólkatónleikastevnan”, which will be “traveling” around the islands.
We will be visiting the small enchanted island of Mykines, and Fugloy, another small island.
We will also perform at Nordens Hus (The Nordic House), and at restaurant Kvonn, both in Tórshavn, the capitol of the islands. Then we finish up at G! Festival in Göta, where the wonderful Faroese singer, Eivør, was born.
I have been to Faroe Islands quite a few times during the years, and it has always been a fantastic experience to visit. First time I was there was in the middle of the nineties, and later I visited the islands once with the violin and guitar duo, Haugaard & Høirup, and several times with the folk-world music band Himmerland.
I love Faroe Islands. There you’ll meet the most lovely people, a wonderful nature, an absolute fabulous food tradition, and an exciting cultural life all in all – and further more I find that Tórshavn serve the best fish ‘n chips in the world!
You’ll find a video from Faroe Islands here! The music on this video is made by Eivør!
