Drepe Katten

by Jane Williams

Here is something a little Norwegian. This tune is a Nordlandpols, a lively dance from the Nordlands region for fiddle. I live and work in Norway and am part of a local folk group here. The title means “Killing the Cat”. I actually like cats but apparently this is a little difficult to play at full tempo!

Originally from the UK, Jane now lives and works in Norway. She grew up with and around folk music and started composing very early on. Her influences are all the greats from the 70’s and 80’s. Jane’s main instrument is guitar and she also plays harp, fiddle, keyboard and whistle. She lives in Tromsø in the far north of Norway and is part of a lively folk group which performs regularly for tourists and events.
