North Atlantic Song Convention
The first North Atlantic Song Convention took place in Svendborg, Denmark on 8-10 April 2022.
The event saw singers and supporters from far and wide congregating to discuss, learn and share our song traditions. There were talks, workshops, panels, song circles, concerts and more.
As this was the first NAS Convention delegates were able to directly get involved in the development and thinking behind the new international body NASC as well as meet like-minded people who are interested in supporting traditional/folk singing.
