Everything about T Nder Festival totally explained

Tønder Festival is a large annual folk music festival in Tønder, Denmark. It is always held at the last weekend of August.It was founded in 1975.
   The festival has since developed itself into being one of the most important festivals for traditional and modern folk music. There were 1950 volunteers attached to the festival in 2007. The program is composed of international artists from especially Ireland, Scotland, Canada, USA, England and Scandinavia. The genres vary from Irish and Scottish folk music to folk-rock, blues and jazz, from singer-songwriters to country music, to modern Danish, Nordic, and Baltic folk music and songs.
