Folk magazine about the present and the past, from freak folk to minstrels.
We’re stuck at home. The current pandemic has us work at home, and allows us visits from only a few friends and relatives. We cannot go to the theatre, cinema or other kinds of performances. Only amusement parks and football stadiums are accessible, with restrictions. Our food is from the microwave or a delivery service. We cannot go somewhere and have a bite, just a takeaway from the snack bar. Nor can we take our weekly, or maybe daily, moment of relaxation in the café… We’re also cheated out of that…Whether alcohol consumption is lowered is doubtful. But those who cannot do without their drop and want to keep their cultural activities up to standard should just listen to Concertzender!!! In this special on fermented and distilled liquids, we don’t want to incite you to alcohol consumption, but we want to hearten the regular visitor of concerts and cafés. Drinks, drinking songs and folk music go well together. Sometimes too well….For the outsider, folk music may be only about stamping and boozing. The insider knows better, but nonetheless we do a special on beer, wine and whiskey. And, as you expect from us, we don’t present the well-known works, unless in a deviant, alternative and changed version. You also hear less-known songs, and even sublime songs about spirits. Let’s hope it will go down well with you!
