Allan Edwall's klassiker i vår egen tolkning. En gammal fallfärdig tramporgel tyckte vi passade bra dessutom! Instrumenteringen är piano, tramporgel, akustisk gitarr, såg, sång och övertons och strupsång dessutom.

A swedish classic! Originally recorded by Allan Edwall, swedish actor and songwriter. Our interpretation includes piano, acoustic guitar, musical saw, vocals and overtone vocals and last but definitely not least - a decrepit old harmonium!

Vår'n

A nice acoustic sad song about a legend from Hälsingland, Sweden. Sote was a robber chief who fell in love with a christian woman by the name Sigrid. Acording to the legend she died from grief when she found out that Sote was a wanted robber. And on the day for her funeral he came to her grave and took his own life upon it.

Stigman Sote

Lötgärdet is a swedish three piece that creates blues influenced traditional swedish folk music... in a slightly untraditional way perhaps? 
All the lyrics are in swedish and for the most time they are about legends, folklore and actuall happenings and people who live or have lived around Hälsingland, primarily about the village of Marmaverken where two of the band members where born and raised. We see it as a mission to keep these stories and memories alive. 

We are looking for gigs on Ireland betwen August 22-26. If you can help us out we would appreciate it! Send a email to lotgardet ( a ) gmail.com
