Storytelling konsert við Søren Manscher /Storytelling Concert with Søren Manscher
Søren Manschers intense dagligdagssange er skrevet på guitar med den gode fortælling i højsædet. Der er fokus på absurditeten, idyllen og magtesløsheden i Manschers sange, som med en nærmest spoken-word-agtig tilgang over catchy melodier i et vidtspændende register fortæller om alt fra en tur gennem DK i den klassiske road song “Jeg Blaffer”, til den svære tilgivelse og accept i “Jeg Ønsker Dig Et Godt Liv”. I 2019 turnerede Søren Manscher som support for Søren Huss i 19 danske byer i forbindelse med udgivelsen af sit debutalbum, Det er balancerne der holder sammen på det hele. Debuten fulgtes i 2022 op med Den Stærke Sol hvor alle tre singler derfra blev spillet flittigt på P4, P5 og P6. I 2024 udgav Manscher singlen “Som En Bror”, som blev indspillet og produceret med Teitur på Færøerne. I efteråret 2026 udgiver Søren Manscher sit tredje album, Hvis jeg bare kunne finde ordene, hvor radiosinglerne “Gylden Indeni” og “Lad Hundene Rende” også figurerer. Albummet bakkes op af en turné med band i både DK og på Færøerne. Dette er en siddende stuekoncert, hvor gæsterne sidder ved borde. Hvert bord har plads til fire personer, så hvis I ønsker at sidde sammen, bedes I bestille billetterne samlet. Vores hyggelige køkken holder åbent hele aftenen og serverer små lækkerier, nøje udvalgte vine og et udvalg af specialteer. Dørene åbner kl. 19.00, så gæsterne har god tid til at finde deres pladser og købe lidt godt at nyde, inden musikken begynder. Koncerten er støttet af Økistónar. Søren Manscher Live: Søren Manscher: vokal og guitar Torleik Mortensen: bas Hjørtur Háberg: trommer Søren Manscher’s intense songs about everyday life are written on the guitar, with compelling storytelling at their heart. His songs explore absurdity, idyll and powerlessness. Through an almost spoken-word-like delivery set against catchy melodies spanning a broad musical range, Manscher tells stories about everything from travelling through Denmark in the classic road song “Jeg Blaffer” to the difficult journey towards forgiveness and acceptance in “Jeg Ønsker Dig Et Godt Liv”. In 2019, Søren Manscher toured 19 Danish cities as the supporting act for Søren Huss in connection with the release of his debut album, "Det er balancerne der holder sammen på det hele". The debut was followed in 2022 by Den Stærke Sol, all three singles from which received frequent airplay on P4, P5 and P6. In 2024, Manscher released the single “Som En Bror”, which was recorded and produced with Teitur in the Faroe Islands. In autumn 2026, Søren Manscher will release his third album, "Hvis jeg bare kunne finde ordene", which also features the radio singles “Gylden Indeni” and “Lad Hundene Rende”. The album will be supported by a full-band tour of Denmark and the Faroe Islands. This is a seated living room concert, with guests seated around tables. Each table accommodates four people, so if you wish to sit together, please book your tickets as one group. The Little Kitchen will be serving light bites, while Fjósið will offer carefully selected wines and other refreshments. Doors open at 7:00 pm, giving guests time to find their seats and purchase something to enjoy before the music, which will will be conducted in Danish and Faroese, begins at 8:00 pm. The concert is kindly supported by Økistónar. Søren Manscher Live: Søren Manscher: vocals and guitar Torleik Mortensen: bass Hjørtur Háberg: drums

Hann er illviljað egin og vil so gjarna passa inn. Tekstirnir eru háfloygdir, orðaríkir og stundum eyðkendir av uttangarðsmáli. & Bartal hevur seinnu árini staðfest seg sum einleikara á føroyska tónleikapallinum. Við hópin av framførslum, bæði uttanlands og heima á klettunum, hevur hann stútt og støðugt ment tilfar til tónleikaútgávur, ið um stutta tíð síggja dagsins ljós. Til konsertina spæla tey løg hjá bæði Daniu O. Tausen og & Bartali. Talan er um stovukonsert har sitið verður við borð. Hvørt borð hevur 4 pláss, so tað er umráðandi at bíleggja saman, um tit vil sita saman. Lítli køkurin hevur opið við brellbitum og Fjósið hevur opið við góðum víni o.ø.

In recent years, & Bartal has established himself as a solo artist on the Faroese music scene. Through numerous performances abroad and at home in the Faroe Islands, he has steadily developed material for releases that will see the light of day soon.

Seinferð konsert við Leu Kampmann / Seinferð Concert with Lea Kampmann
Seinferð – Ein konsert, har tú fært pláss til at anda Tað verður eitt kvøld fyri nærveru og inniligheit, tá Lea spælir løgini av útgávuni Seinferð. Seinferð merkir slow motion, og júst hetta er kjarnin í konsertini – ein mótstøða ímóti skjótleikanum, ið trokar seg inn í lívið. Ein innari uppreistur ímóti krøvunum um at renna líka skjótt sum hini, hóast tað ikki kennist rætt. Løgini eru skrivað saman við Teiti í kavaveðrið í Hoydølum – í friðinum, har orð og tónar fingu loyvi at vaksa í sínum egna tempo. Tað er tónleikur, sum gevur pláss til at merkja, til at minnast og til at anda. Á konsertini fær tónleikurin rúm, orðini finna sítt egna pláss, og tíð er ikki nakað, tú skal kappast við, men nakað tú kanst liva í. Talan er um stovukonsert har sitið verður við borð. Hvørt borð hevur 4 pláss, so tað er umráðandi at bíleggja saman, um tit vil sita saman. Lítli køkurin hevur opið við brellbitum og Fjósið hevur opið við góðum víni o.ø. Dyrnar lata upp kl 19:00 so tað er møguligt at finna sær pláss, og at keypa sær okkurt gott at njóta áðrenn tónleikurin byrjar kl. 20. Konsertin er stuðlað av Økistónum. Seinferð – A Concert Where You Can Breathe An evening of presence and intimacy awaits as Lea performs the songs from her release Seinferð. Seinferð means “slow motion,” and this is the very essence of the concert—a stand against the haste that encroaches upon our lives. An inner rebellion against the pressure to run as fast as everyone else, even when it does not feel right. The songs were written with Teitur during snowy weather in Hoydalar—in the stillness, where words and melodies were allowed to grow at their own pace. This is music that leaves room to feel, to remember and to breathe. At the concert, the music is given room, the words find their own place, and time is not something you have to race against, but something you can inhabit. This is a seated living room concert, with guests seated around tables. Each table accommodates four people, so if you wish to sit together, please book your tickets as one group. The Little Kitchen will be serving light bites, while Fjósið will offer carefully selected wines and other refreshments. Doors open at 7:00 pm, giving guests time to find their seats and purchase something to enjoy before the music begins at 8:00 pm. The concert is kindly supported by Økistónar.

Nólsoyar Páll
Born Páll Nólsøe in 1766, this remarkable man became a symbol of Faroese independence. A poet, politician, and patriot, he fought tirelessly against Danish trade monopolies and for the rights of his people. His home, where you stand today, was the center of revolutionary thinking and the birthplace of the Faroese independence movement. Every room echoes with the conversations that shaped a nation.
The Ship That Defied an Empire
Built from salvaged English timber when Danish authorities denied ship-building permits, Royndin Fríða became a symbol of Faroese ingenuity and determination. Páll and his collaborators created this vessel to carry not just cargo, but the dreams of free trade and Faroese independence. Though the ship was eventually lost at sea, its legacy lives on as a symbol of the fight for freedom.
Traditional Faroese Life
Experience the authentic atmosphere of 19th-century Faroe Islands, where families like Páll and Marin Malena lived in harmony with the land and sea. Our restored buildings capture the essence of traditional Faroese life, complete with the sounds of sheep and the timeless rhythm of island living.
