   About FolkPort
British and Irish folkrock with guts, atmosphere and celtic undertones is the trademark of FolkPort. Their varied musical concept covers everything between punchy trad.- and dancetunes and poetic ballads and instrumentals.

With their unique joy in performance, relaxed stage presence and a perfect mix between their own and more traditional music, FolkPort creates a mutual music pub mood. Whether it’s on a large festival stage or at a smaller concert venue doesn’t matter. It happens every time. You can set your mind at peace with epic ballads or sing along to nasty drinking tunes but you will surely not be able to sit still when FolkPort stir up their punchy dancetunes, jigs & reels.

After some years on the road with their music FolkPort is a band in demand for festivals and concert venues in Norway and abroad and they perform at their fourth Skagen Festival in Denmark in 2008.


FolkPort at the Skagen Festival - Denmark - 2005

Hola
Part of the idea is to enable small-scale producers, copyright owners of digital works (songs,tunes,videos,data) to publish and charge for downloading. Music and tune wise we have sorted, still working on video. As well as 'Raremusez Basement' (all tunes free or 55p) the download area, there is a Members site allowing registered users to upload mp3 files which can then be published at the basement. Can you pass on details to whoever you think might be interested. Charges/costs and how to are available to registered members. The site is built on the Joomla open source framework so large scope for development and hosting.
Cheers Coopz new tunes

Good mornin' n good eve to all thy faithful friends and members of thy fellowship!!
Tis time of mischief, Tis time of magik ^_^!!
For All Hollow's Eve will soon be upon us!
Rejoice in celebration and partake in fond festivities!!
Let this day be the day of angels ~*~*~
Be it of the light, be it of the dark
What ever it may be~
~*Take flight*~
^_~


Come n' fall into the realm of the angels~
Come fly and grace the skys
swim the seas, for whatever twill, just be...



Tis true....
Angels, they are all ov'a!!
Sleepin' rite under our noses they are....





Watchin' us in the gardens?
Quite possibly.....






They fall from light and splash joy into our lives!!
Ever more so do they like to rejoice where happiness thrives!!



Yet sometimes they weep.....
sometimes they cry.....





Where are they all, we always ask why
but be not vexed by their mysterious ways
just run free! who cares what all folk say



For angels are abound....
indeed they are all around !!!
be one today and take flight ~*~*~
rejoice in the day!!
