Jocke Lavett

Jocke Lavett

Meet Jocke Lavett. One of the new members of the Tattarklanen. He is interested in ancient handicraft, like the works of a blacksmith and he also wants to learn how to work with bronze and leather. Jocke is currently a student at the Bäckedals Folkhögskola in Sveg. And he plays in a band, Älgarna. And I do think he looks like a true Viking!

  1. Aw, c'mon. Who's gonna be afraid of a Viking with a ring in his nose? It's probably so his woman can lead him around! ;-)

  6. I can only agree with the others. I'm more Viking than him...
    He did a good choice about learning to be a blacksmith.

  7. Wow. That nose ring has got to hurt every time you blow your nose or pick it.

  8. Is that grass growing on that roof? Is that where your Vikings live? Did you dress up for this event by any chance?

  9. Grass it is. The old cottage is today a museum. Owned and operated by Agnes and Martin who organized this Viking Market. I met them last year as they gave a concert at a gallery. And obviously I took their photo.

    I seem to have mislaid my Viking outfit!
