OUR FANS

Falu Spelmanslag is a folkmusic club open to anybody who due to his love and passion for folk music wants to improve his playing under generous learning and performance forms.

We are just now around 50 players.

The second name "The Fiddler Company of Falun, Town of Non-Olympics" was founded some years ago when we thought that the local debate was too much concerned with olympic games in our town and too little with other important cultural acitivities.

We are a fiddling company for dance purposes with ambition to play the old tunes so tenderly and "sweaty" that the dancing audience feels a pronounced joy of life and dancing through our performance of the power and beauty of the old tunes. We hope that this performence can be brought about even through our cassette, our CD and the medium you now are using.

We are always engaged in some way during the Lake Siljan Music Festival and then especially on Monday night in Svabensverk and of course in Bingsjö on Wednesday.
