Gruppa Østfolk gives the audience an insight into local folk music and storytelling traditions. They have created this children's performance that is suitable for all children aged 6-12. The group played distinctive music and used instruments such as fiddle, guitar and song. They told Nordic stories and also included drops from the local culture in Vestfold. Per Jostein was good at capturing the audience's attention and it was easy to hear what he was saying. He had a lot of empathy and good contact with the audience. The performance they put on could have been suitable for several age groups, even adults laughed and paid close attention. The length was reasonable and it was an interesting and creative way to learn.

We asked the music students what they thought and they thought it was fun and exciting. They especially liked the music and think that it fits well in a primary school.
