Anouk’s interest in folk music started when she went to Wales and learned about the history there. It turned out that her favourite band (the Levellers) had a firm root in folk music as well. Since then she has been listening first to Irish/Scottish folk music, later to Dutch folk and most recently to Scandinavian folk. The last interest got her to start playing the nyckelharpa in december 2020.
Her favourite artist include:
Scandinavian: Kaunan, Raske Drenge, Gate
Dutch: Wargaren, Wolverlei (both are from the 70’s)
Nyckelharpa: Magnus Holmström, David Eriksson, Niklas Roswall
