Denmark
Danish folk duo Fromseier Hockings is a lively, impulsive and playful union of violin, guitar and voice. Brimming with charm and virtuosity, Ditte Fromseier and Sigurd Hockings have developed a unique intimacy in their music, over many years of working together. Old swingy traditional tunes are combined with Ditte and Sigurd’s own compositions. Fromseier Hockings explore every aspect of the duo format, the music drawing audiences into their musical world with a sensitivity and warmth that invites both dance and reflection.
Ditte Fromseier started her musical life at the age of 4 on the little Danish island of Bornholm. Since then, she has played her way around the world and has trained as both a classical and folk violinist.
Sigurd Hockings is one of the most skilful and versatile folk guitarists in Denmark. Inspiration for his very individual and accomplished playing style has come largely from Scandinavian and Celtic music traditions.
