The Nordic Gig Guide introduces live performances by Nordic artists on a weekly basis, hand-picked from London’s diverse live calender! This week, there are three very special performances by Thomas Dybdahl, Valgeir Sigurðsson and Jay-Jay Johanson which you should definitely not miss!
Tue 18th Mar: Thomas Dybdahl – Bush Hall, London – Tickets
For over a decade, Thomas Dybdahl has delivered a solid collection of songs in the most heartfelt singer/songwriter tradition, becoming something of a modern day Nordic Nick Drake.
