2/ According to Cliff: 'Niht is a beautiful album, taking the intense power of previous Sowulo recordings and adding even more layers to it, leaving me longing for more, every time the music finishes.'

🧵 Album Review
On Friday 29/08/2025, Sowulo will release their 5th studio album called Niht. We were honoured that we were allowed to listen to the album in advance.

Our reviewer Cliff de Booy has been all over this new masterpiece from Sowulo, and came back all enthusiastic and inspired.

🧵 First impressions from Castlefest 2025! 🏰✨
We had an amazing time with the team, soaking in the music, the vibes, and the magic.

We would have loved to catch every band, but with the streets packed and time flying, we couldn’t make it to them all. But we loved everything we did see! ❤️

It’s always a pleasure to see Merulsa (NL) perform her dreamy songs and judging from the audience’s reaction, she was not dreaming alone at Elfia Haarzuilens 2025 (NL) last weekend.

For balfolkers the Folk Nexus Stage was the place to be at Elfia Haarzuilens 2025 (NL) since they were provided with great dancing music the whole weekend, in this particular case by the wonderful Airboxes (BE).
