London Hardingfelelag
The London Hardingfelelag was founded in 2005 and now has seven regular members with a wide range of musical backgrounds. We meet once a month, to play by ear and teach each other the traditional tunes which we have learned from recordings or from visiting Hardanger fiddle players such as Ånon Egeland, Nils Økland, Anne Hytta, Vegar Vårdal, Tore Bolstad, Jan Beitohaugen Granli, Sturle Eide, Loretta Kelly and Sarah Nagell.
Although we play mainly for our own enjoyment, we have performed a number of times in public or for weddings. In 2011 the London Hardingfelelag took part in the Norwegian Landskappleik, a national annual festival and competition of mainly Hardanger fiddle music and dancing.
