About the artist catalogue


The artist catalogue contains an extensive range of musicians and dancers within the Traditional Music circuit, and aim to present the rich and diverse life of the folk music scene in Norway. It is a credible resource for everyone attracted to folk music and folk dance, and serves as easily navigable information pool.

The database is regularly being added to and we encourage musicians, dancers, organizers and record labels to submit updated information to build a trusted way into the emerging world of folk music and dance in Norway.
