Folkwoods 2009

translated

Fortunately Orfeo shows that Dutch balfolk is also blossoming musically. They approached the Flemish top with a surprisingly good performance.

Some members of this group, who play traditional harp, flute and hurdy gurdy mixed with drums and electronic instruments, met each other on the Folkwoods festival in 2002, and have been improving since then. Despite a difficult sound check which caused a delay, they entertained a large audience and dancers with jigs, mazurka and schottisch. Nowadays they also use a theremin, which gives an eery sound. As far as i am concerned, this was the highlight of the day.
