The absolute top of Danish folk music.
Northern Assembly’s storytelling is the core of this quartet from Århus, while their sound is folk pop music weaving enticing beats, double bass, guitar, piano and sweet harmonies.
Fronting Northern Assembly is Danish-Faroese Dina Dánialsdóttir and British Andreas Bevan, whose passion for authentic narration and music is shared by bassist Jesper Smalbro and drummer Jens Hedegaard.
Northern Assembly’s two releases, ‘Death, won’t you marry me?’(2018) and ‘Closer Together’ (2019) met with critical praise, the latter being one of the most played albums of the year on Radio Denmark’s P5.
Their latest album ‘The Choir of Trembling Hands’ (2023), prompted the Danish music
magazine GAFFA offering: “it’s like the sun bursting through after a long, rainy autumn” and crowned the review with four stars.
After a couple of hundred concerts at home and abroad, three albums plus annual Christmas
releases since 2017, Northern Assembly have established quite firmly that they are capable of writing and playing fine music. Powerful songwriting, magnificent production, mellifluous harmonies, magnetic stage presence, humor and storytelling assure Northern Assembly’s place at the absolute top of Danish folk music.
