We Take Requests Trio

We Take Requests Trio are putting swing jazz back in fashion.


We Take Requests Trio Bio

The trio look to master the jazz tradition that came before them, and blend it with infectious enthusiasm and joyfulness when they play together.

The band name itself pays homage to Oscar Peterson Trio´s record We Get Requests from 1964, and it was through common love and affection for this record the trio first started playing.

Since then the band has played numerous concerts and events at esteemed hotels, concert halls and festivals in Norway. The band has even played with big international names such as Ulf Wakenius, Benny Benack III and Davide Cerreta, and are establishing themselves as one of Europe’s finest young jazz-trios!

This year Emilie Smestad will join the band for the evening as guest vocalist.

Presenting Our Vintage Swing Night Instructors!


Jonas and Hyulia

Jonas and Hyulia

Jonas started dancing in 2011. He dances Boogie Woogie, Solo Jazz, and Lindy Hop, in addition to being a DJ at various dance events. Jonas loves the music, the speed, and the energy of Lindy Hop, and he is passionate about sharing this with his students. He also believes that a strong foundation in skills and technique, as well as musicality and good connection on the dance floor, are essential.
Hyulia began dancing Boogie Woogie in 2019, inspired by rhythm & blues and rock’n’roll. Her interest quickly led her to Lindy Hop and swing jazz. Today, she is an active part of the swing scene in Bergen – teaching, training, and social dancing on a weekly basis.
Hyulia is passionate about connection – the interplay between music and partner – which lifts the dance to new heights and adds both intensity and playfulness. For her, dancing is about sharing energy, joy, and freedom on the floor.
Since 2022, she has been teaching locally, frequently attending festivals all over Europe, and achieving top placements in both Boogie Woogie and Lindy Hop. She is also part of the organizing team behind the festival Swing Brother, Swing, which takes place in Bergen every October.

Nidaros Cathedral

Nidaros Cathedral is a Church of Norway located in the city of Trondheim. Built over the burial site of Saint Olav, the king of Norway in the 11th century, who became the patron saint of the nation. It was built from 1070 to 1300, and designated as the cathedral for the Diocese of Nidaros in 1152. After the Protestant Reformation, it was taken from the Roman Catholics by the Lutheran Church in 1537. It is the northernmost medieval cathedral in the world.
