Frifot, The Ark, January 17 2001:
 
Ale Moller on mandola and a variety of whistle-like things; Lena Willemark
on fiddle, octave fiddle (looks like a viola to me); Per Gumundsen on 
fiddle, and bagpipe for one tune.  If I was looking for a quick 
description, it would be chamber folk, though I'm not sure that applies
when Lena backs up to the rear of the stage and lets loose with the 
vocal technique for calling the cows back from the next valley.
There's a familiar Scandinavian feeling to much of the instrumental 
stuff, though it's much more restrained than Hedningarna.
 
Frifot's previous visit to the ark was discussed in resp:23 & resp:24.
Ale Moller made a cryptic reference to the poor turnout last time; 
this show pulled maybe 150 people, much improved.
