Company Byre
Company manager Geir Byre released his first production of his own old-fashioned dance compositions 'I sjøldæle' ('to be in one's own thoughts') in 2008. Since then he has composed new songs, which in 2022 resulted in the album 'Ei rar tid'. The company performed at the National Festival of Old-fashioned Dance Music in Førde in August 2023, and were not short of scoring inside ten and going all the way to the top. As part of the prize, the company secures an invitation to a dance performance at Førdefestivalen 2024.
In addition to the company commander himself, who plays guitar, he has fine-tuned his aim to get capable commanders into the squad. Here you will find some of the most sought-after and decorated in the genre. This smells like gunpowder!
