Pay On The Door

”a hypermusical blend of styles and traditions” Folkworld.de

Irrepressible Scandinavian folk roots band "Basco" are fast becoming an unavoidable phenomenon on the European folk music scene. Whether performing as a quartet or with the Danish Radio Big Band, Basco’s infectious energy, virtuosity and inventiveness have gained the hearts and minds of audiences from all over Europe.

Basco’s music is varied, full of nuance and beauty, of temperament and drive, of grand sweeping landscapes, delicate, fractal detail, and of good, old fashioned, raw, foot-stomping power. And whether alone as a quartet, with their regular guest singer, Jullie Hjetland, or as a septet with the "Big Basco" brass collective, it is this range and originality that shines through.

”Dazzling Danish quartet Basco were definitely the weekend’s most popular discovery, combining unusual instrumentation with tremendous ensemble verve and richly textured arrangements.” The Scotsman
