Old Tinghuset local filled up with a small but dedicated audience. Ahlberg , Ek & Roswall start the evening danceable and enjoyable . The entire hall is filled with notes of summer . The crowd stomping beat and the atmosphere is convivial.
Their latest album The Nightingale contain many notes of intense character. A joyous violin, a rhythmic guitar and a joyful nykelharpa in perfect symbiosis. The music invites you to opportunities to float away , it's meditative , joyous and committed turns. The entertaining and anecdotal between the neck compliment the evening further .
The music is both traditional and historical references while the trio mixes new and original material , which becomes more authentic . Best is the trio as they take in the full strength , then it's like an orchestra on stage , and it can not be left untouched. Although the " winter " is played arises no cold , there is only heat the room.
The trio has been nominated for several awards , and the next time they play in the county is on Even meeting so like to see them then.
The cooperation with Club 3 is a well thought out concept. After the concert , put it up to dance , which is perfect for those with who found it difficult to sit still. Club 3 is an inviting arrangement where everyone is welcome. Despite this, I can not avoid during the evening reflecting on autumn avpixlat scandal and how it is received in the local folk music movement. In this context feels hot Nazi references oförståerliga and I guess it has been a challenge for everyone involved. A given exercise in tolerance but openness , community and joy seems to still persist.

A strong vibrant but also heartfelt and subtle appropriation of the interplay between Emma Ahlberg on violin and viola, Daniel Ek on harpgitarr and Niklas Roswall on various nyckelharpas in these songs mostly from Medelpadsgatan who gets a strange time-independent, archaic quality - sometimes even with the lure of old Celtic music. A colorful folk trio, whose reinterpretations have a strong sense of tradition. - Ulf Gustavsson, Uppsala Nya Tidning
No dramatic news, nothing sensational different. Just a bunch of delicious melodies that happily swarming down inside one's collar, a lush lust-studded group of timbre and whim strong baroque feel to many of the songs that I feel the dust from Vivaldi's wig in the nose.
Fiddle player Emma Ahlberg, Daniel Ek with its harpgitarr and nyckelharpa Niklas Roswall brings out old folk songs, mainly from Medelpadsgatan and Skåne and lands one of 2013's best albums, all categories.
The trio has total grip on the chain between the powerful melodic intoxication and dimmed finlemmat, and varies the game in a musician through fashion.
It swings acceptable too. If not grandiose. - ALEXANDER AGRELL, Sydsvenskan

Bio
Ahlberg, Ek & Roswall have played together a few years and are now releasing their
first album. The idea for the trio began when Emma was a guest musician with the now defunct band Ranarim, which included Daniel and Niklas. The three musicians played a few informal shows together, with great success, and the trio was formed. Ahlberg, Ek & Roswall perform in concert and play for dance in Sweden and abroad.
All three musicians have a deep appreciation for the old traditional folk music, and most of their material originates in their home regions of Skne and Medelpad, but their repertoire is perfectly balanced with original tunes.The group arranges all their music together and they draw inspiration from both folk music and other styles
