Most of the other folk I hear..I see live performances at Scandinavian festivals in Seattle, random compilation CDs, and stuff I randomly stumble upon while on YouTube.


Gjallarhorn - I Riden Så (Ye Ride So Carefully) - YouTube
A Gjallarhorn fan myself; Ranarop and Rimfaxe would be my preferred two released.

Some groups I’ve been listening to recently



Another honorable mention; a bit of Finnish schlager folk (one of my all time favorites).
