The nyckelharpa is the most ethereal of instruments, nearly lost to the world but kept safe in a small region of Sweden. This wonderful instrument is now coming to Twickfolk.

The UK nyckelharpa project’s aim is to take nyckelharpas around the country and conduct workshops introducing as many people to this wonderful instrument as possible. If you’ve seen a nyckelharpa and would like a go, this workshop is for you. For two hours you’ll get to be up close and personal with a nyckelharpa and learn a few simple tunes.
