• Gjallarhorn: Calling the ancient goddess Sjofnx
  At the end of 2000 Gjallarhorn released their second CD called Sjofn with wide distribution. Not only did it surprise many reviewers of folk magazines; it also found its way into several rock magazines as being original and stunning psycho music. Lead singer Jenny Wilhelmsen is the driving force behind the group and almost addicted to finding new material. New material? No, actually old material. Eelco Schilder has talked with Jenny.

• Phantom's shadows of the wren
  Who or what killed the wren? The old winter custom survives in only a few pockets of tradition, why did it die out?

• Falun Folkmusik Festival 2001 - Live Review
  A Scottish folk music invasion in the never dark Swedish summer nights. The small town of Falun in the middle of Sweden is best known for its copper mines, yet another attraction is probably much more worth a note, and that is the annual Falun Folkmusik Festival, Sweden's biggest folk and world music festival. Michael Moll was there, enjoying a wonderful mix of Swedish, European and international Folk Music, with a special emphasis this year on Scotland.

• Folkwoods Festival 2001 - Live Review
  Excellent quality event. Folkwoods Festival is maybe the best organized folk festival I know. Mid August 2001 the second editon took place in the very nice location of the Philips van Lennepark in Eindoven in the Netherlands. This festival is presenting lots of young and fresh bands, but also some good old established friends.
