SIDDIS Success for Eikanger
Eikanger-Bjørsvik Musikklag under the direction of conductor Ingar Bergby claimed comprehensive victory at the Siddis Entertainment Championships. The band’s programme featured original compositions by Fredrick Schjelderup, Reid Gilje and Frode Rydland, concluding with the finale from Arthur Butterworth's 'Odin — from the Land of Fire and Ice'.
