The showcase proposal submission for Folkearm 2011 is now closed. Folkelarm project manager Trond Stenseth Moe reports all-time record with 170 proposals.

Folkelarm is the largest get-together of the international folk- and world music community in Scandinavia, and brings international music industry delegates from over 30 different countries to Oslo in September every year. Roughly 130 artists from Norway and the Nordic countries get to showcase in front of a large audience eager to discover new music.

It's time for Showcase proposals for Folkelarm 2011. Folkelarm is located at Riksscenen in Oslo, and will take place 29th of September to 1st of October 2011.

The number of applications for this year`s Folkelarm outnumbered any previous Folkelarm Festival. 120 artists applied, and 23 are now chosen to play at one of Scandinavia`s most significant meeting arenas for Nordic Folk Music.

Folkelarm brings international music industry delegates from over 20 different countries to Oslo in late September every year. In collaboration with Music Information Centre Norway (MIC) and Folkelarm, the Norwegian Traditional Music Agency used the opportunity to present 5 of the Norwegian artists that are to play at Showcase Scotland in 2010.

Folkelarm’s live-programme is well-built and presents acts such as Valkyrien Allstars, Frikar, Unni Løvlid, Synnøve Bjørset and Rysstad/Morken/Storli all entering the stages at Soria Moria Culture House in Oslo between 17.-20 of September 2009
