> I am writing to you to let you know that in two weeks time, from 20. - 23. ágúst,  there is an important Scandinavian folk music festival happening in Akureyri. You may already know about it, but it seems not many people do, so I am trying to get the word out to as many people as I can think of.

> The event is called Tradition for Tomorrow and it involves lots of musicians from all over Scandinavia, with concerts, workshops and a daytime conference schedule at the university. It really is an impressive line-up. Full information is on the website at ( www.rha.is/folk ).
