Yeahh! We are still alive – and we give you today another great film with music from our latest album. Amy Bogard have made a nice little stop-motion video of «A Face For Scuba», a tune from the hand of our Nuala Kennedy. With love from all of us in Snowflake Trio.
CONCERT AND LIVE ALBUM LAUNCH
Snowflake Trio combines the traditional music of Ireland and Norway in a uniquely open ended way. Built in 2009 on an immediate musical rapport, they have developed an eclectic repertoire of exploratory music and song where no two concerts are the same. Featuring renowned Irish singer and flautist Nuala Kennedy, Norwegian hardanger virtuoso Vegar Vårdal and the genre defying accordion maestro Frode Haltli, a live show by Snowflake Trio is a rugged and spontaneous affair. To best put across its spirit for the listener, they have recorded a live album where a rich core of carefully selected pieces of traditional music from both countries is interwoven with freely improvised sections and newly composed melodies. Come celebrate the official U. K. launch of their debut record!

We started the tour in Norway with a concert as south we can get in Norway, in a house near Lista Lighthouse. The local jazzclub in Farsund invited us out to Lista and wanted us to do a concert in a privat home – and of course! We love this kind of contact with the audience, and what a atmosphere there was during that concert! The next day we went to Bakgården in Arendal and had a concert in the dawn with, and as you can see from the picture – the audience paying attention to not only Vegars stories :-) It was a great concert, and we got also a good review in ablikk (in Norwegian).
The next day we came to Bø in Telemark, and prepeared us for Telemarkfestivalen. We had one short element in the opening concert, and one hours show later on in the jazz-club Vertshuset. What a warm welcome for us to this festival, always nice to play for this festival. Now we are preapering for the next tour, nothing decided yet – but we are planning the futere …
