Lív & Tróndur
Lív Næs (vocals), Tróndur Enni (vocals, guitar)
Lív & Tróndur are two individual artists with different backgrounds and sounds, but when they sing and perform together they become a symbiosis. Their voices and songs melt into one.
The music is a combination of folk and pop. It is gentle, emotional, and they always have a story to tell. When hearing their unique sound it's easy to imagine the North Atlantic sea, green mountains and a rainy foggy day.
Lív & Tróndur have played many concerts through the past years; In Milano, Barcelona, Iceland, Sweeden, Norway and Denmark. They are working on new material at the moment.
Jógvan
Jógvan Joensen (sang, gittara)
- My work bridges tradition and contemporary expression. I compose new ballads grounded in Faroese heritage, influenced by sacred music and Nordic aesthetics. Centered around the voice, my music explores clarity, intimacy, and spiritual resonance. Alongside these works, I present new songs that invite audience participation and collective singing.

Jógvan Andrias Joensen (sang, gittar), Edvard Nyholm Debess (bass)
Jógvan Andrias is a poet, songwriter and folk-singer from Klaksvík, Faroe Islands. Music listeners first became aware of Jógvan Andrias when he appeared with the song “Ljós í myrkri” on the album Amnesty tónar in 1991. This song became immensely popular on the Faroe Islands and received substantial radio airplay.
His first album "Soleiðis saman" was released in 1999. Since then he has released three singles: “Sólarhvarv” in 2017, “Sóljuprinsessa” in 2021, and the third single, “Egin slóð,” is an attempt to highlight presence as the most important key to encouraging and stimulating children and young people on their own path to mature with age and become confident in themselves as adults.
Jógvan Andrias worked with many skilled musicians as well as the Tórshavn men’s choir. The music and song writing is rooted in traditional Faroese folk music, such as the traditional Faroese ballads.
Bassist Edvard Nyholm Debess will accompany Jógvan Andrias on this concert.
