Offerdals spelmanslag

Swedish folk musician group from Jämtland that was founded for the hometown festival in Ede in the summer of 1985. Olle Simonsson put up a note in the shop in Änge and asked for fiddlers from the area who wanted to play at the hometown festival - to begin with. The performance was much appreciated, the playing continued and the team grew. And we have continued to play at the hometown festival every summer. Read Gunnar Nilsson's story about how the team came to be below (It probably wasn't meant to be - Offerdal's fiddler team turns 37 even years). They have recorded eight CDs so far and made trips abroad to the USA, Russia and South Africa.
