A gig on Friday 15th May. The event starts at 20:00.
Northern Resonance is a Swedish folk trio that brings newly composed traditional music into a new soundscape.
Through their combination of viola d’amore, Hardanger fiddle and 12-string guitar, the trio allows Scandinavian folk music to meet explosive rhythms and refined, delicate arrangements. Deeply rooted in tradition yet unafraid to explore beyond it, Northern Resonance moves effortlessly between the familiar and the unexpected, expanding the boundaries of Nordic folk music.
All members are highly accomplished musicians with strong foundations in traditional music. With a close interplay that is rare to come across, the trio moves effortlessly outside the soundscape of the tradition but moves just as easily within it. The trio brings remarkable life to their tunes, inviting audiences into a rich and immersive musical world.
The trio quickly established themself on the Scandinavian folk scene with their self-titled debut album (2020), which was nominated for a Swedish Grammy. Since then, Northern Resonance has captivated audiences worldwide through extensive international touring. In 2026, the ensemble entered a new chapter with Albin Broberg on 12-string guitar, further expanding and deepening the group’s distinctive sound.
“Resonant with the joy of creating and playing music together with the confidence to push the boundaries of what Nordic folk music can be.” -

“With their close interplay, the trio moves effortlessly outside the soundscape of the tradition but moves just as easily within it.” - Lira Music Magazine
“With several beautifully crafted and decorated instruments on stage, this band is a visual treat as well as a feast for the ears.” - FolkWorld Magazine
“Old is new, and new is old; Northern Resonance combines the two on Vision of Three, touching on sounds rarely heard, contextualizing them with instruments made new in the remarkable hands of these musicians. It is joy unbound.”
- KLOF Mag
“Northern Resonance moves freely within the music. They create nice and expressive arrangements in a classical style with a modern sound.” - RFoD
Greenbank Folk Club is committed to developing our access & inclusion in every aspect of what we do. Please get in touch if you have any particular access needs or would like to make a suggestion for how we can do things better in the future. We encourage you to fill out our survey after each event so we can hear your thoughts - QR code available in the venue.
£12 and £15 tickets are available in advance - tickets on the door will be £18. We strongly advise that you book in advance if you'd like to attend as we cannot guarantee there will be door tickets available if the event sells out.
Please tell your friends and share this event - live music and dancing only takes place with the support of the community around us.
We would like to thank our partner projects, The Greenbank, EFDSS (English Folk Dance and Song Society) and Arts Council England for their support in this project.
This event will take place at St Anne's Church, Easton, Bristol and will be seated with some standing space. Seats are unallocated, first come first serve.
Notice to wheelchair & mobility scooter users - we have ramp access to the venue if needed and can reserve you a space at the front (we advise that you arrive promptly). It is worth noting that St Anne's Church doesn't currently have proper disabled toilets available. There is a toilet available on level access but it is a fairly small, standard cubicle without much turning space. We are working with St Anne's Church to address this problem for the future.
We also keep the lighting fairly low during the shows which can hinder mobility for some people. If this will be a problem for you please get in touch ahead of the show and we'll see what we can do to help.
No strobe effects will be used during the show but stage haze will be used as part of the lighting system. Stage haze cannot affect your lungs or voice but has been raised in the past as something worth mentioning prior to the event.
