About Me |
|
| British and Irish folkrock with guts, atmosphere and celtic undertones is the trademark of FolkPort. Their varied musical concept covers everything between punchy trad.- and dancetunes and poetic ballads and instrumentals.
With their unique joy in performance, relaxed stage presence and a perfect mix between their own and more traditional music, FolkPort creates a mutual music pub mood. Whether it’s on a large festival stage or at a smaller concert venue doesn’t matter. It happens every time. You can set your mind at peace with epic ballads or sing along to nasty drinking tunes but you will surely not be able to sit still when FolkPort stir up their punchy dancetunes, jigs & reels.
After some years on the road with their music FolkPort is a band in demand for festivals and concert venues in Norway and abroad and they perform at their fourth Skagen Festival in Denmark in 2008. FolkPort at the Skagen Festival - Denmark - 2005 FolkPort CDs available in our WebShop and at the gigs: CD-Single "Open Sea" - released june 2005 contains three of our own songs and a rather special version of the traditional tune Loch Lomond CD-EP "Come Away" - released march 2004 contains six tracks in live/studio-style |
