This 12 months’s Trondheim Calling was my fifth, and I’ve seen the pageant evolve to a really skilled and in addition fascinating pageant. The convention half is superb, with fascinating, and in addition helpful themes for the struggling musicians. The pageant half mixes up and coming artists and bands with some extra established bands. On this means the concert events attracts the native followers along with the delegates so the bands get to play for an enthusiastic crowd.
