Nish as Rish in Norway

16 Apr 2015


Next month the folk-roots collective Nish As Rish (featuring Manx musicians Ruth Keggin and Karl Kramer) are heading off for a two week tour in the beautiful Lofoten Islands, Norway. Their tour is part of DKS (‘Den kulturelle skolesekken) – a brilliant national initiative that brings professional musicians and visual artists into schools. Outside of their busy educational schedule, Nish As Rish will also be doing three public gigs - one at the Figurteateret i Nordland (Stamsund) on Sunday 12th April, Kulturfabrikken in Sortland on Friday 17th April and Damadi in Bodø on Thursday 23rd April. If you know anyone living in the Lofotens, or if you’ll happen to be there yourself by any strange coincidence, do pop along and say hello! The group will be packing their warmest woollens… because even in April, this archipelago in the Arctic Circle can be just a bit chilly! Keep up to date with their adventures by giving them a ‘like’ on Facebook
