Strenger i gress - Norwegian Bluegrass camp / festival 

Feleboga had a great time at "Strenger i gress" in beautiful Gulsrud on the shores of Tyrifjord, just an hour outside of Oslo. Paul was hired to teach the vocal workshop and Feleboga was invited to play a "camp concert" on the fringe of the official festival program and had a wonderful, large and attentive audience. The Bluegrass crowd certainly was interested in our old-time music! On the second day our Kattinge friends of the New Valley Stringband from Sweden arrived and we had a roaring old-time session.

Covid 10 activities / Noony Toons 

Like everybod else Feleboga has been staying home and staying safe. But there is still a lot to do as people are imaginative in finding alternatives to meeting for sessions and concerts. The Richmond Old-time gathering in London was just held online this weekend and we managed to contribute on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hanshinrich.thedens/posts/10156680202701017?notif_id=1586614925556657¬if_t=feedback_reaction_generic.

Recording and performing in Germany 

So we had a great time with the whole stringband in old stomping grounds. We took the boat and then drove through Denmark and performed at the Lord Nelson's Irish Pub in Brunsbüttel before rehearsing new material and making demo (and potential CD) recordings in Dithmarschen. With a simple 4 mic setup, all in the same room we focused on songs and tunes with Paul singing lead. He even made up some new lyrics. Wednesday night we played a Kulturkneipe Bornholdt in Meldorf. On the way home we stopped by our…

Performances in the spring 

In May we played for the Hordaringen dance group in Oslo while Alix led the dancers. Then we played on the Roots&Rock'n Roll stage downtown at Oslo's Music Day on June 4th before heading over to the American church in Oslo and played for another square dance there. And again people showed up, brought food and had a great time. We're hoping to repeat this soon.
