The Sunday at
Zomerfolk
will start with an epic journey through the land of the north, the vikings and strong men.
Forgotten North
will wake you up with a melodic rock/metal show in which you are taken to the gates of Asgard and they tell you stories about Yggdrasil and the ways of the North.
Ready to go on this journey? Come to the MainStage on Sunday at 13.00h and step on board.

It wouldn’t really be
Zomerfolk
without
Flannery
playing there, right?!
The whole Zomerfolk weekend you will get the chance to party with the men of Flannery! They play twice on Saturday in the Pub and on Sunday they get to throw a different kind of folk rock party on the MainStage at 16.00h!
So if you are up for fun, folk rock and a wild party, be there and party on until you drop!

On Saturday the 15th of June awards-winning Irish Folk band
Altan
takes the
Zomerfolk
stage.
In the mid 80’s singer and fiddler Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh teamed up with flute-player Franky Kennedy, they released an album called Altan.
Gradually the duo grew into a band and since they started to preform under the name Altan in 1987, they sold over a million records and played on stages from America to Japan and from Ireland to New Zealand.
In 1994 the band suffered a great loss when foundingmember Franky Kennedy died after being diagnosed with cancer.
Franky Kennedy kept on touring throughout his illness and after a period of mourning the band resumed as requested by Franky before he died.
Altan is primary influenced by tunes and traditional songs in the Irish language from Donegal, moving people aroud the world with sensitive, touching songs and hard-hitting reels and jigs.
In 1996 Altan was the first traditional Irish music group to sign with a major label. Their latest album titled ‘Gap of Dreams’ was released in 2018.
Inspired enough? Want to see it? Be there at Zomerfolk, June 15th, 17.15h MainStage!!!

Monthly Marker June 2019: Rapalje

Do you remember that we told you about Rosanne’s talent and hard work providing us with custom banners for each upcoming festival? Sure you do, we told you that yesterday! Well, here’s another prime example of that, our new banner that will fly high above our Facebook page in the two weeks leading up to: Zomerfolk! Keep a close eye on our page as we will share more information on this awesome festival in the coming time.
But, the reason for this post is of course to announce our new Monthly Marker, and this time YOU were able to choose the song! Several weeks ago Alex joined Maceál (FB) in his weekly livestream, and together they opened up a poll so that you could pick the song from Rapalje Celtic Folk Music’s latest album “Scotland’s Story” for us to play as Monthly Marker, and also for Rapalje to release as their first single onto all major online platforms. And the choice you made? Drumroll please……”The Strayaway Child“!
This song will be playing five to six times a day, all through the month of June, enjoy! And remember, we will be at Zomerfolk in two weeks time, with some of those one of a kind collectables in the form of buttons. So as always, come join the party over there, and trade a hug for a beautiful new button!
