After Easter, we are ready for the first tour in Førdefestivalen say new venture, VestaFolk The folk music trio GAMALTNYMALT with Sigrid Moldestad, Håkon Høgemo and Einar Mjølsnes are ready for 5 concerts in Vestland county. Here is their tour schedule:

Here is the new spelferda:

  • Sunday May 9 Straumsnes grendahus, Fjaler

  • Monday May 10 Columbi Egg, Bergen

  • Tuesday, May 11 Kabuso, Voss

  • Wednesday May 12 Hardanger Folk Museum, Utne

  • Thursday May 13 Jostedal Hotel, Jostedal

GamaltNymalt is uncompromising in its expression, playing dark, raw and mystical on its 5-string harding fiddles. The fiddles are made by Olav Vindal and Magne Straume. The trio is inspired by the hardanger trio Sigbjørn Bernhoft Osa, Eivind Groven and Alfred Maurstad from the early 1930s.

The trio was honored with the Spellemannpris for their debut album, 'Gamaltnymalt' (NORCD), in 2005. The following year they were a popular feature on Førdefestivalen and since then they have been in action on concert stages here and there at regular and irregular intervals. Now there are five great venues that will be visited by the popular musicians in April.
