Fotveita Bruktjazz comes from Trondheim but draws its inspiration from the vibrant and diverse music scene in New Orleans.
The band plays rhythmic 20s jazz, early funk and festival music. If you've seen the TV series Treme, you've heard the fascinating mix of musical traditions: jazz, marching band, r'n'b and Caribbean rhythms fused together in a hugely engrossing rhythmic firework entirely unique to New Orleans.
Jan Ivar Ekroll – Trumpet and Piano
Jomar Frengen - Trombone
Atle Kleven - Clarinet and Vocals
Johannes Smidt - Vocals, Banjo & Guitar
Jens Storli - Tuba
Sonny Breiby - Drums
We Take Requests Trio are putting swing jazz back in fashion.
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!
Eirik Tveten - Piano
Eskild Okkenhaug - Upright Bass

Presenting Our Vintage Swing Night Instructors!
🎶 Lindy Hop Crash Course 🎶
If you have never tried Lindy Hop before, this is the class for you. We will teach the basic rhythm and steps and a few moves that allow you to dance socially.
Our main goal is for everyone to have fun, and to get to know the dance a bit. After class, you are ready to try out the social dance floor.
🕺💃 Come join us, with or without a partner. We rotate partners during class. 💃🕺
Annette and Petter discovered the joy of lindy hop during their student life in Trondheim. Following a move to Oslo in 2010/2011 they have been teaching at the local swing club, travelling to workshops in various cities all over Europe and trained with the swing team "Norweegies" for several years. Now they are back in Trondheim for good, and are eager to share their joy of dancing to swing music with you!
Magne has danced his way through life, and has been eager within folk dance, hip hop, breakdance and a range of other dances, both as an instructor and dancer. Since 2017 he has been completely hooked on Lindy Hop and has been instructing for years in Trondheim and at Voss where he currently resides. Magne loves to play around with new steps and rhythms, and to nerd on technical details, and is fascinated by the magic of dancing together.
Kjersti started dancing Lindy Hop in 2016 and hasn't looked back since she found this informal and fun dance style. She has experience from solo dance such as jazz ballet and hip hop, and thinks Lindy hop is a perfect combination between individuality and interaction. For Kjersti, music is central, and she loves being able to express the feeling of jazz music together with a dance partner. She has instructed courses in Trondheim for several years and is looking forward to teaching Lindy Hop at VSN!
Maria is one of Trondheim Lindy Hop’s enthusiastic dancers. Unfortunately she has moved to Tromsø for a while - but she will be back for VSN! In addition to her enthusiasm to Lindy Hop she is a physiotherapist and a yoga teacher. We are so lucky to have her giving a yoga class for us this year too! This is a class for everyone, no yoga experience is needed. On Sunday morning she will guide you through a restorative hatha yoga that will make all your dancing melt into your body and help your body to restore. Bring a mat or something to do yoga on. See you!
Where to go and what to see!
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.
