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

Norwegian-Irish evening
Welcome to a concert with a new Norwegian-Irish musical collaboration!
This fall, traditions from Setesdal and Ireland meet in a very special concert experience.
Mother and son, Inger Lise Stulien and Endre Stulien Robstad, share the stage with Irish musicians Cedar Dobson (flutes, whistles and vocals), Lúan De Burca (bouzouki and vocals) and Gabriel Gonzalez (guitar, flutes and whistles). Together they create a musical encounter where traditional folk music lives side by side with new soundscapes, strong melodies and improvisation.
The audience can look forward to an atmospheric journey between Setesdal and Ireland, with energetic songs, beautiful ballads and stories that bind people and cultures together. The concert highlights roots, identity and musical encounters across generations and national borders.
The Cedar Dobson Band is known for its powerful and innovative expression, while Inger Lise and Endre convey the rich cultural heritage of Setesdal, and the old folk tunes, with warmth, closeness and joy through song, Hardanger fiddle, mouth harp and traditional horn flutes.
Welcome to a concert experience that moves, inspires and builds bridges between cultures through music!
In conjunction with the concert, we will be serving Shepherd's pie in the restaurant - a warm and tasty classic with meat filling and soft mashed potato topping. A treat with roots in British-Irish food culture, perfect before or after a musical journey between Setesdal and Ireland.
The restaurant kitchen is open until 9:00 PM. Please book a table by calling 37 93 61 30 or here.

Jeanne is a vocalist and guitarist, her sister Merete is a chorister and was a drummer and already as teenagers they started the girl band Country Girls which played all over the country in the 80s and 90s.

Christmas table with E-76:
Welcome to our tasty Christmas buffet with all traditional Norwegian Christmas food and with the addition of our distinctive Christmas food with e.g. mountain laurel, turnip and homebaka lefse. Rice cream and molt cream are of course on the dessert table!
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.
