Thank you Australia!

March 23, 2012 by Antti

Back home after some really serious traveling… 12 days, 60+ hours in the aeroplanes/airports, 40+ hours driving and now taking a deep breathe in Finland =)

Thanks to all the festivals for having Frigg for the first time ever in Australia; Port Fairy, WOMADelaide and Blue Mountains!!! Also thanks Thornbury theatre with the supporting acts the Twoks and Oh’Pep for completing our visit in Melbourne. And we also want to thank Tuire, Raymond, Henna and Kurt so much for their greatest hospitality!

The last but not least; thank you all the people who came to see and support us there – some of you did even drive hundreds of kilometers just because of us…! We must say we had fantastic time and hope to see you all again very soon!

Thank you all for voting us at About.com World Music Readers’ Awards!!!

March 23, 2012 by Antti

Frigg landed on the 3rd place in the voting after all but we definitely will keep Nordic folk music torch high up also in the future – just to be nominated at such awards is an honour for a remote area that hardly is commonly considered belonging into the “world music” scene! But here we are and we’ll be back =)
