Frisky, fiery and just what the doctor ordered. These words capture the essence of Mads Hansens Kapel who are currently releasing their EP “På Den Forkerte Side” (“On The Flip-Side”)
The record consists of 5 upstanding folk tunes composed by the renowned Danish composer Ditlev Trappo Saugmann Bjerregaard. Here they are arranged by the Kapel and presented with lashings of mischief, horseplay and unorthodox whimsy.
The music is as varied and flamboyant as the 5 gentlemen who comprise Mads Hansens Kapel; from fierce and explosive to seductive and delicate. One might say it’s a high-class romp through the wilds of Danish tradition.
Mads Hansens Kapel are:
Jonas Lærke Clausen, violin
Martin Strange Lorenzen, clarinet Sebastian Boesgaard Bloch Larsen, guitar Emil Ringtved Nielsen, bass
Julian Michael Svejgaard Jørgensen, piano

“Enjoyment first, worry later” - these are the words that define the danish folk orchestra Mads Hansens Kapel.
Raw, tight and immensely groovy backing, combined with the fierce double stringed fiddle and the powerful and teasing clarinet. 
Mads Hansens Kapel started playing in the autumn of 2015, in a meeting consisting of their joint love for the danish folk music tradition and the irresistible urge to not only play for a sitting audience, but also especially for dancing. 
Born in the danish tradition, Mads Hansens Kapel is playing the old tunes with heart, soul, and strength, keeping the music of generations alive and bringing it into the 21st century.  The music is straightforward and honest, creating a space of exploration and playfullness.
As the dancing tunes are living things, constantly evolving throughout the ages, so are the music of Mads Hansens Kapel, interpreted with equally respect for the tradition and the curiosity of the contemporary.
