Romerikes Blad – One of the best Norwegian blues musicians comes to Vegalangs in Vormadalen: – Amund Maarud is a local hero

– Amund Maarud is a local hero. Next year, he actually appears at the Royal Albert Hall. But he first comes to Rolstad's farm in Fenstad, tells Anne Kristin Rolstad about the famous blues musician from Nes.

With farmers from several other local farms, she arranges Vegalangs for the fourth year in a row. Concert, art cruise, market, guided tours and conferences are just some of the activities on offer at Vormadalen in Olsokhelgen

– The concert with Amund Maarud will be the Main event of the year. It takes place on Saturdays, and we pack full tuna that serves local beer and local food.

Be quick to order

Anne Kristin Rolstad says it's the first time Vegalang has bet on a professional musician.

– Amund Maarud begins his career as a Christmas presenter at Rolstad Farm, and he says it's the only decent job he's had before becoming a blues musician, she laughs and adds:

– Saturday we will also visit by Marius Lien of Fenstad. He is only 18, but has a promising future as a blues star. It just becomes a musical evening in a good environment.

For theater lovers, the organizers of the two different shows in Vegalang have to offer. At the farm Huser you can bring the answer of the water "The Presteenkene goes again" and in Veset gård there is the room "Camilla and Henrik" on the poster.

– Here you can also serve a good part of cultural history. Presteenkene gives the public a historical presentation of farm life, while at the Huser Farm, you have a glimpse into the life of Camilla Collett and Henrik Wergeland. If you did not get a ticket, you should be quick because it is limited, says Rolstad

Popular event

The versatile program under Vegalangs, according to the organizer, is attracting more and more of guests for each year. ] – We receive very positive feedback, and I have experience that Vegalang in Vormadalen has become a widely known term. We hope this can be an event that Romerike will be aware of.
