Band Biography
 
Sweden’s leading roots music ambassadors Väsen, have enthralled audiences around the world, from Japan to USA to become festival favourites due to the sheer awe-inspiring class of the performance..

The trio, in constant demand, has travelled far and wide, and is a big attraction in America, especially in Bloomington, Indiana, where a street has been named after them.

This will be a rare visit to the UK (they have appeared at Bath International Music Festival, Celtic Connections and Shetland Folk Festivals previously). They are promoting a new album entitled Mindset.

Reviews tend to be glowing in their praise and littered with terms such as “hypnotic”, “magnificent”, “entrancing” and “enchanting”.

Dirty Linen described them as “an acoustic tour de force”, while The Herald (Scotland) called them “one of the best folk acts in the world today,” respected reviewer Rob Adams adding: “move heaven and earth for a ticket!”
