Re-live Norwegian Elite highlights

You can now re-live the exciting musical action of the 2016 Elite Division Norwegian Championships — all for a few Krone/pounds...

Eikanger
 

If you were unlucky to miss the recent Norwegian National Championships in Bergen, you can re-live the Elite Division action thanks to the recording of all the performances of the set-work, 'Searching for Light' plus the eclectic own-choice blockbusters from the competing bands.

Splash out

And if you were lucky enough to hear it all — then why not splash out and remind yourselves of the highlights again...

The contest was won by Eikanger Bjorsvik Musikklag directed by Prof Nicholas Childs — and for the princely sum of £1.00 each you can hear how they did it on Stig Nordhagen's work and their own-choice of 'Trance' by Thomas Doss.

Top bands

And if you have a few extra pennies left in your pocket why not splash out on performances from runner-up Manger ('Old Licks Bluesed Up') or third placed Stavanger ('Trance') — and see if you agreed with the judges in what was the closest result in the history of the event.

Splash out a few quid and see if you agreed with the eventual result...4BR
