Vamp is a Norwegian folk rock band from Haugesund, formed in 1990. Since their debut in 1993, the band has had great success in Norway, with a number of top ten albums and singles. Vamp is known for its blend of Norwegian folk music and rock, and for its lyrics about love, nature and life's challenges.

The band was originally formed by Jan Toft (vocals), Torbjørn Økland (guitar), Øyvind Staveland (violin), Carl Øyvind Apeland (bass) and Erling Sande (drums). In 1998, Toft was replaced by Vidar Johnsen on vocals, and in 2008, Sande was replaced by Odin Staveland.

Vamp's debut album, "Godmorgen, søster", was released in 1993. The album was a huge success and won the 1993 Spellemannprisen in the category for best rock album. The album contained the songs "Tir n'a Noir" and "Evig eies kun det tapte", both of which became big radio hits.

Vamp's next album, Horisonter, was released in 1994. The album was also a major commercial success, but received somewhat less critical acclaim than her debut album.

In the years that followed, Vamp released a number of albums, all of which were well received by both audiences and critics. Among the most popular albums are "13 humler" (1996), "Flua på veggen" (1998) and "Ei med alt" (1999).

In the 2000s, Vamp continued to make popular music. The albums "Another Sun" (2000), "Månemannen" (2002) and "Siste stikk" (2005) all became top five albums in Norway. In 2006, Vamp released an album with a symphony orchestra, "Vamp i full symfoni" with the Kringkastingsorkesteret. The same year, the band was named Spellemann of the Year.

How thin, long and difficult is it possible to turn wood? Vidar Iversen shows, through his objects and sculptures in wood, that little is impossible when he uncompromisingly follows an idea - and at the same time masters the craft. The exhibition opens at the same time as the Wooden Boat Festival, and makes Galleri Kunstparken even more relevant for wood lovers.

If safety is not found at home or out there, where do you go?

"Word for blood" is a true story, an inside report from the little sister of Sweden's most dangerous gang leader. It is a painful and honest story about being human and female and ending up in the middle of a deadly gang showdown - in a world where adults are not present. Faysa's closest friends and family members are on opposite sides of the gang war. She no longer has a record of how many she has lost. Now she tells her story.  

The National Theatre and the Norwegian Theatre are creating a play based on Faysa Idle's hotly-anticipated book, "A Word for Blood". Her story concerns us all, regardless of who we are or where we live. Perhaps Faysa's story can open up conversations about how we can create a society where we take better care of each other?

--Said about the book:

"Faysa Idle tells her story powerfully and honestly

Business News

"A story that tears at the heart and gives you chills"

Gyldendal Norwegian Publishing House

--Performance length: 1 hour 20 minutes (no intermission).
