FolkWorld Live Review by Michael Moll
As this is the 30th issue of FolkWorld, we want to look back to
the 30th issue of the Tønder Festival, which took place end of August
2004. A full review was already in FolkWorld
29, so we are restricting ourselves here to a photo review. All photos by
The Mollis.
A muddy festival: Wellies on sale in town... |
... and on the feet of the Tonder audience |
Another unforgettable late night concert of Danú in the Visemollen, with a host of guests - here with John Sheahan |
One of the highlights of this year's festival - the Danish duo Karen Mose & Helene Blum, with a terrific modern folk band |
Le Vent Du Nord's Benoit Bourque stepdancing - he even managed to get Tent 2 dancing to a Bouree! |
Le Vent Du Nord - top band from Québec, full of energy. Just the perfect festival band! |
For me a positive surprise and highlight: Eddie Reader with her new folk band, singing Robert Burns, traditional and modern songs |
Carsten Panduro, the man behind the organisation of the festival |
The Sunday Afternoon Ceilidhs - traditionally the highlight of Tonder, creating new combinations of bands on stage. I went, as usual, to Tent 2, where Ron Kavana is the master of ceremonies... |
|
The finale of the Tent 2 ceilidh, with, among others, Eddie Reader. Danú and Lunasa. |
And a look back at the 25th anniversary of the Festival in 1999:
