Skål to my Scandinavian ancestors who were the first settlers in Norsewood and Dannevirke..🛡⚔️🇳🇴🇩🇰

Wardruna, Heilung, A Tergo Lupi and Danheim are all up there in my favorite musical influences also (haven't listened to a Turgo Lupi so much but have encountered their tunes).

Great video, very well put together, thanks. Cool looking festival, cool music, and seems like a cool community too. All within sight of the awesome Ruahine mountains! Must be hot there in February though. Hope you didn't drink too much mead! (Would love to play my songs there one year, if I could only get a band together to play them, haha).

[@therideinmidgard]

Thanks! Often hot 🥵 n Feb, sometimes wet and windy like this year. When in Norsewood I often have a little too much to mead, Watcha gonna do? Do you play acoustic, be awesome to have some new acts coming through.

[@Ceolskog]

@@therideinmidgard Ah fair enough, if you're going to have too much mead that would be the time and place for it. Yeh, I record folk metal but only play acoustic live for now, as I don't have a band.

[@therideinmidgard]

@@CeolskogThe Norsewood Viking festival are always looking for live acts, could be a go!

[@dietrichess9997]

I wish I could get some of that mead. I don't imagine it would ship well to Canada. That woman from Sonvanger is lovely, too. 🙂 I'm going to investigate their music further.

[@therideinmidgard]

Awesome! Some links in the description. Cheers.

[@therideinmidgard]

Some awesome festivals in north America, I'm envious of you guys and Europeans, pretty isolated down here in NZ.

[@dietrichess9997]

@@therideinmidgard I love seeing how easily and peacefully you can do this in New Zealand! It's inspiring. Here, in my area, I think some people would go out of their way to object this kind of celebration. I won't elaborate, but it's nice to see how nicely this went off for you in 2024. 🙂

Whangarei doesn't have the annual viking festival anymore 😢❤

[@therideinmidgard]

We'll always have Norsewood
