Send Some Applause

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

While you are most welcome to make someone happy with 🍫 and💐 or even better, shared time, we’d love for you to reserve some of your time for our #SendSomeApplause campaign.

Why? Because the Fantasy and Folk scene means a lot to us and we’d like to show our appreciation to those that help fill it with life and love, again and again – but we can’t very well do it on our own.

So, if you feel the same about the Fantasy and Folk scene, choose some people or groups of people who you feel thankful to – no matter what their contribution may be – and create a post on your favourite social on Friday 14th, starting with:

“Today, I #SendSomeApplause to …” and tag them.

Your post can be long or short, filled with photos/videos or just text … do it the way you feel comfortable with. If you feel up to it, share your post publicly, so everybody has the chance to discover those wonderful people you sent some applause to through the #SendSomeApplause

Let’s work together and flood the scene’s feeds with love tomorrow!

Monthly Markers February 2025: Onna/Niels Ottosen & Blæsten

It’s the 1st of February which means two brand new Monthly Markers for this month!

Band no. 1: Onna (NL)
Song: Child of Mother Earth (New Single)

Band no. 2: Niels Ottosen & Blæsten (DK)
Song: I Rise (from their new 2024 album)

Beautiful songs to sail towards the light. 🌱🌲
