Welcome to RadioFolk.dk’s podcast Folk Live. In this edition of the podcast, we will be featuring the Danish-Swedish band, Trio Mio, in a concert recorded at the famous Danish Tønder Festival that runs the last weekend of August every year.

Danish Kristine Heebøll on the violin, and Peter Rosendahl on piano and wurlitzer, and Swedish Jens Ulvsand on the bouzouki, guitar and vocals, are all very experienced musicians coming from different backgrounds, and brought together by a sincere joy of playing together, and a shared love for music. 

All three musicians contribute to the repertoire featuring new music that they compose themself, inspired by jazz, classical, folk and world music. Peter Rosendahl comes from the Danish jazz scene, and Jens Ulvsand has been working with world music in Sweden and in West Africa, and Kristine has been raised on traditional Danish music and dancing.

The band has published six albums, and are working on their seventh as we speak.

So now it is time for us to listen to Trio Mio, and they start out with a tune by Jens Ulvsand called Channerwick Polska…

Folk Live is being brought to you by RadioFolk.dk, Folk Spot Denmark and Tønder Festival, supported by Spot Festival and The Danish Arts Council.
