There was Medieval music at the historical Christmas marke in Handen last Saturday. This duo is called Korp (Raven). To the left Gunnar Nordlinder who plays drums, Jew's harp and a few more instruments. To the right Karen Petersen who sings and as you can see here she also plays the fiddla, a type of violin. The fiddla dates back to the Middle Ages. There were lots of handmade Christmas items for sale in the museum. Like these rather unusual candle holders. On the third and last photo you can spot The Ring Bearer talking to Jocke Lavett, two of the Vikings that I met back in October.
I find the "fiddla" to be an interesting and beautiful instrument! Does she play in a Spelmanslag?
