The host bands of Murton Colliery Band (Dennis Noble) and Fishburn Band (Phil Rosier) will team up with their Norwegian friends in a concert on the night before enjoying the type of friendly socialising that the Norwegians have enjoyed over the last one thousand years or more on their trips across the North Sea.
