Kalvøyafestivalen

Kalvøyafestivalen was a music festival arranged at Kalvøya in Bærum nearby Oslo. The festival was initiated by people connected to the folk club Hades at the art center on Høvikodden. The festival was started by Sten Randers Fredriksen in 1971. The festival was officially closed in 1998 because the festival manager Paul Karlsen missed to get the right headliners for the festival.

gollark: On my personal phone plan, 8GB a month, the issue is more that the connection is very jittery and slow.
