Minority Language Songwriters' Circle
This new addition is a songwriters' circle focusing on songs written and sung in minority languages.
On the first day of Tønder Festival, Wednesday 27 August 2025, a very special event will take place at 5:45 pm in Tent 1. A semicircle of five musicians from five different countries will take turns to sing their songs and tell their stories, each in their own language.
One of Greenland's most prized musicians, Rasmus Lyberth, sings in Greenlandic. Ainsley Hamill from Scotland sings in Gaelic. Lleuwen Steffan from Wales sings in Welsh. Nolwenn Korbell from France, who also sings in Lleuwen Steffan's band, sings in her native Breton. And Danish Rikke Thomsen sings in South Jutish.
