Faroese nights

Kunningarstovan is a cool name.

Kunningarstovan means "tourist office" in Faroese!

Update on that...

Dear Kevin

Just talked to the organizers of the Faroese evenings and they said if they had found a location there would be no dancing and no food, so I don't see the point in having a Faroese Evening when the most traditional events not are included.

The concert in not traditional in the way that there will be Faroese dance, but the Faroese music will be traditional Faeroese music that has been rearranged. Because Faroese music is normally without instruments and the musicians have added instruments to this arrangement.

The croup is called Yggdrasil and the musicians are some of the few Faroese musicians that live of there music and their are also some of the best musicians the Faroes have. To there group they have added famous faroese folksinger, Kári Sverrison.

There are two Irish musicians that have joined the group for this concert and they are
Máire Breatnach, fiddle
Thomas Loefke, Harp

So I don't know have how traditional Irish it will be with harp? But there will be a mixture of the two, Ireland and Faroe Island.

The concert will be held in the Nordic house, which is known for its beautiful architecture.

You can find some more information about the group on www.tutl.com and the Nordic house on www.nlh.fo.

Tickets can be bought through us and I think it would be a good idea for you to buy them beforehand as I imagine that the concert will be popular.

Sincerely
Kunningarstovan

So it's like heading up to Taylor's Three Rock or somewhere. Sounds like it's going to be open to the public as well, so should get a good mix of Faroese people too. Mad that they got the harpist and fiddler though!

Same ticket details - head up to the tourist office on the morning.

Shame ther's no traditional food or drink (though there is a restaurant in Tórshavn which does puffin breast), but it's nice to be able to get a taste of another culture...

I ordered pigeon in a restaurant in Cario(when I was over for the Israel game) couldn't eat it, I'd think it'll be the same with the puffin.
