Hardanger Fiddles - 2008 7-Lag Stevne Banquet

A Hardanger fiddle (or in Norwegian: hardingfele) is a traditional stringed instrument, similar to a violin, used originally to play the music of Norway. These players are part of the Twin Cities Hardingfelelag - www.tchardingfelelag.org/ - they performed at the annual 7-Lag Stevne in Stevens Point, Wisconsin in July, 2008.

"Stevne" is the Norwegian term for a convention, meeting, or rally.

"Lag" is a Norwegian word that has many meanings, one of them being "a group of people". Besides Sigdalslag, there are 31 other lags which cover other geographic areas of Norway. A handy source of information about all 32 lags is the web site www.fellesraad.com.
