RaspeKlubb: Folk Dance Meets Club Night

Hooray! Sunnfjord is getting its very own version of the successful concepts Tuvas Blodklubb in Oslo and Klubb Komle in Bergen, serving up danceable folk music in a club setting. Welcome to the launch of RaspeKlubb!

The concept has been drawing packed houses in the cities. It combines a crash course in folk dancing with a vibrant club atmosphere on the dance floor, creating a full evening together with good friends, including the ones you have not met yet.

Expect some of the hottest sounds in folk music right now: a blend of traditional folk tunes and folk techno, performed by local musicians. Electronica joins forces with the Hardanger fiddle, accordion, jaw harp, and percussion in a slightly unlikely, yet wonderfully danceable mix.

On Saturday, 26 September, Klubb Komle visits Teater Vestland to hand over the concept before RaspeKlubb continues on its own feet. RaspeKlubb is a collaboration between Teater Vestland, Førdefestivalen, and Indre Sunnfjord Spelemannslag.

The evening begins with a quick introduction to folk dancing led by Marta and Ole. They will teach you a few simple steps to take with you into the club night. Or you can simply jump in and dance however you like. No previous experience or dance partner is required.

At last, Førde gets the folk music nightclub it has been waiting for, featuring great music you never knew you loved dancing to.

Age limit: 18+
