Never marry a fiddler: voices about folk music in Dalarna, from Isakes Kisti to Päkkos Gustaf

The author Thomas Fahlander from Falun lets us in the book "Never marry a fiddler" accompany us to Dalarna, a place populated by wayward fiddlers: Isakes Kisti, Sparf Anders, Knis Karl, Björs Olle, Lapp-Nils, Hans Haglöf, Anders Frisell and Päkkos Gustaf. Not everyone was a fiddler, of course - here is also Päkkos Svea. Without her, no voice for Bingsjö. Here is the story of the first fiddle teams, but also of how the demolition of the Klarakvarteren in Stockholm was the start of the green wave, which in turn gave a boost to the folk music wave. Thomas Fahlander takes you on a journey through the history of folk music in Dalarna, as you have never experienced it before. Richly illustrated.
