Svend Erik Larsen

Fiddlers Green Festival Proudly Presents:

Svend Erik, a seasoned folk singer and concert/festival organiser with a remarkable career spanning nearly 40 years. Hailing from Denmark, Svend Erik is widely recognised as a talented member of the renowned folk band Shamrock, drawing heavy influence from the rich tapestry of Irish music.

In 2007, Svend Erik released a captivating CD featuring translated Sands Family songs in Danish. The infectious melody of “When the Boys Come Rolling Home” from the album resonated with listeners, spending an impressive eleven weeks on the Danish charts.

Beyond his musical performances, Svend Erik and his wife Dorthe are passionate about organising festivals and curating folk music experiences. They have played instrumental roles in events such as Skagen Festival (the oldest festival in Denmark), the vibrant Stauning Jazz Festival, Folk95, and Muldbjerg Mill.

At Fiddler’s Green, Svend Erik will serenade audiences with a delightful repertoire of songs that have woven themselves into the fabric of his life. Expect a blend of traditional tunes and heartfelt melodies, including his very own composition, “Fiddlers Green,” which holds a special place on the setlist.

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon as Svend Erik takes us on a musical journey that reflects his lifelong devotion to folk music. Get ready to enjoy a warm and authentic performance at this Lunchtime Folk Club gig.
