Saturday 28th July<\/strong> Sunday 29th July<\/strong> [\/GDC_column][GDC_column size=”half”]<\/p>\n O’Rives performing at the fest in 2016<\/p><\/div>\n This year there’s some roasted pig if you get peckish<\/p><\/div>\n [\/GDC_column] [GDC_row] The hosts of the festival, Greenrose Faire<\/a> plays rousing Celtic folk rock with head-bobbing, toe-tapping rock feel. The Finnish sextet meshes mandolins and violin with rock drums and bass and symphonic synths, and spikes the rollicking attitude with the slightly ominous overtones of Finnish melancholy. Greenrose Faire sounds lively and modern but still tugs at the nostalgia strings for the long-gone days of yore.<\/p>\n This weekend is also the first chance to hear songs from the brand new fourth album “Riders in the Night<\/a>” performed live.<\/p>\n www.greenrosefaire.com<\/a> [\/GDC_column][GDC_column size=”half”]<\/p>\n www.mamythmusik.com<\/a> [\/GDC_column] facebook.com\/sorrowheartsofficial<\/a><\/p>\n [\/GDC_column] H\u00e4rk\u00e4tien leikarit<\/a> plays medieval market music from all round the Europe, taking you on a musical journey from the Ox Road to Flanders, France and Italy.

\nO’Rives<\/a> from Orivesi plays mostly Irish folk music. Their repertoire has rapid reels and jigs, not to forget ballads and pub songs. They might also add a touch of Finnish folk music played in Irish style, and Irish folk music sung in Finnish.<\/p>\n
\n[GDC_column size=”half”]<\/p>\nNest<\/h3>\n
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/greenrosefaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nest-PromoPic-960x540.jpg\")
\nThe mystery of the untamed wilds, the stories travelers bring with them when they return to their homes, and the tales that the trees and the animals themselves might tell should they speak our language. These are given life and cast into music with the aid of the traditional Finnish string instrument – the kantele. This beautiful lap harp has been with the Finnish people for thousands of years, and its sound has accompanied us through all the joys and sorrows of the ages. A.T. of Nest<\/a> has built the kanteles used in Nest himself, as was the way of the kantele players of old. This instrument is joined with others such a shaman drums from lapland, and various synthetics elements to create a mystical soundscape that is meant to engage the imagination and take the listener on a journey that will not be easily forgotten.<\/p>\n
