WORKSHOP

In the workshop we will focus on traditional music from a few of the most famous Danish folk music regions. The duo has been specializing in musical dialects from around the country. Some of the richest areas are small Islands like Læsø and Fanø and the northwestern regions called Thy and Vendsyssel. 

The repertoire consist of old dance tunes: whirling walzes, happy polkas, groovy jigs, fiery reels and breathless hopsas, plus the exotic “Sønderhoning” dance tunes from the Island of Fanø, where Sonnich's family is deeply rooted. As well as some old songs with fun and catchy refrains.

You’ll get some good tunes to take home and some of the spicy stories about musicians, their lives and ways to party. We’ll mainly play by ear, so bring some simple recording equipment.
