24. October

Silje and Sigrid Present:

"Silje og Sigrid presents" has now established itself as a nationwide evening of folk music and folk music in the city center. They guide us through traditional music and urban folk tunes from the big city stages, with the goal of opening more people's eyes to both the folk music scene and traditional music.
No: Sudan Dudan!
Join us in a musical universe where anxiety about the present and the future meets ancient myths, riddles and stories. The music develops in the encounter between sleight rhythms, old ballad structures and free improvisation, with a rich variety of string and rhythm instruments. The dance rhythms meander softly and meditatively through the soundscape – simple and complex, gentle and intense at the same time.
This will be a concert experience that both moves, amazes and draws the audience into a timeless musical space.
With Marit Karlberg, Anders Røyne, Hans Hulbækmo and Magnus Skavhaug Nergaard.
The concert series is supported by the Directorate of Culture, Agder County Council, Folkorg, Valle Municipality and Valle Sparebank.
Entrance: NOK 250

Norsk-Irsk aften

Velkomen til ein konsert med eit nytt norsk‑irsk musikalsk samarbeid!
Denne hausten møter tradisjonar frå Setesdal og Irland i ei heilt spesiell konsertoppleving.
Mor og son, Inger Lise Stulien og Endre Stulien Robstad, deler scena med dei irske musikarane Cedar Dobson (fløyter, whistles og vokal), Lúan De Burca (bouzouki og vokal) og Gabriel Gonzalez (gitar, fløyter og whistles). I lag skapar dei eit musikalsk møte der tradisjonell folkemusikk lever side om side med nye lydlandskap, sterke melodiar og improvisasjon.
Publikum kan gle seg til ei stemningsfull reise mellom Setesdal og Irland, med energiske slåttar, vakre balladar og historier som bind menneske og kulturar saman. Konserten løftar fram røter, identitet og musikalske møte på tvers av generasjonar og landegrenser.
The Cedar Dobson Band er kjend for sitt kraftfulle og nyskapande uttrykk, medan Inger Lise og Endre formidlar den rike kulturarven frå Setesdal,og dei gamle folketonane, med varme, nærleik og glede gjennom song, hardingfele, munnharpe og tradisjonelle hornfløyter.
Velkomen til ei konsertoppleving som rører, inspirerer og byggjer bruer mellom kulturar gjennom musikk!

I samband med konserten serverer vi Shepherd’s pie i restauranten – ein varm og smakfull klassikar med kjøtfyll og mjukt potetmoslokk. Ein godbit med røter i den britisk-irske matkulturen, perfekt før eller etter ei musikalsk reise mellom Setesdal og Irland.

Restaurantkjøkkenet er ope til kl. 21.00. Bestill gjerne bord på telefon 37 93 61 30 eller here.

E-76 plays up to dancing! E-76 from Vinje and Midt-Telemark has been one of the most prominent bands in dialect country rock since their inception in 1991. With a unique combination of driving guitars, great stories and catchy choruses, they have captivated audiences for over three decades – and are constantly winning new fans.
The band is known for creating a real party atmosphere, where songs like Dån Johan, Asfaltcowboy, Ingen som kæm til meg i kveld and Sauekjøt have become pure sing-along classics.
E-76 doesn't stop there, though. With their new single To kråker, they show that they still have a lot to offer – a beautiful and humorous story about life, love and new chances, which is guaranteed to find its place in the hearts of the audience.
