How was it to be at Tønder Festival in some different surroundings than normal?

It was really nice to be at Tønder Festival this year even though it was of course a bit different than normal. The organizers had really gotten a lot of the vibe from the festival site into Schweizerhalle and on the place in front with lights in the trees. The audiences were also very responsive – just as we know from the festival. So all in all it was a great experience.

Is it good to be back on stage?

It was really nice to be back on the stage. The audience up close at the stage, cheering and singing. It almost felt unreal. It reminds us what a special job it is to be a musician.

What has been the best experience during Folk Spot?

The audience at Tønder Festival is very special. You could feel their curiosity and they were cheerful and seemed to have a good time. It was a joy to play for them.

Have you kept in musical training during the Corona pandemic?

We have been lucky to play a few concerts last summer but otherwise it has been like most of the business – a very dry season. We have been working on new music and most of our time has gone with recording demos, transfering files back and forth to each other so we could create music even though we couldn’t be in the same room.

Now that the world is open again, what is Tailcoat’s next move?

We have a lot of concerts come spring but besides that our next step is to record even more music together and hopefully make another record.
