Release concert
Release concert took place in Cafe Mellemfolk in Aarhus where the corona limit for guests was constantly met. The atmosphere was wonderful to play in as the audience was very engaged. Concert got started by Pia Nygaard, who is a local folk musician and fiddler.

Her part of the concert was warmly received.

Even though many restrictions have remained and strengthened with Corona, I am very happy that at the moment the concerts are allowed in Denmark! This offers us a lifeline and optimistic view to the future.
