🇳🇴 Delivering culture: Gåte rocks the folk for Norway

Interviews, Music, Society & Culture

Norway has brought out their folk guns this year, as Gunnhild, Magnus, Jon Even, Mats and John take to the Eurovision stage. After debuting in 2000, Gåte became one of the biggest bands in Norway… until they disbanded.

Thankfully they reformed after a 17-year hiatus, so they could chat with Michael about their folk-rock entry, Ulveham.

🗓️ What was everyone up to for 17 years?

😄 How are the crowds different at Eurovision?

🗣️ How much Norwegian practice does Michael need?

You can see Gåte perform Ulveham during Semi Final 2. Watch it on SBS:

• Live on Friday 10 May at 5am AEST
• Prime time on Saturday 11 May at 7:30pm AEST

📺 See the full video podcast exclusively on Spotify Podcasts.
