Plúmm has been around since the mid-1980s. The band has worked both as an independent band and played with others in several genres – rock, pop and jazz. The best known is probably the collaboration with Terji Rasmussen “Terji & Føstufressar”. Otherwise, the members of the band have played with countless artists. When they come together as musicians on their own terms, it is under the name Plúmm.

A concert with a chaotic mix of genres with intense, flying improvisations will be proposed. Plúmm’s musicians are all self-taught virtuosos, educated, and award-winning.

The band at Vetrarjazz 2026 are:

Magnus Johannesen (keyboards), Arnold Ludvig (bass), Johan Hentze (trumpet), Rógvi á Rógvu (drums) James Olsen (percussion/vocals) and Leivur Thomsen (guitar) and James Philip Goodwin (percussions).

For more than 20 years, Dánjal and Búi have played music and told stories for children and childlike souls. They have managed to make their way into the hearts of both young and old all across the Faroe Islands.

One reason for this is that their songs and stories have always carried two layers of meaning: one for children and another for adults. In most of Dánjal and Búi’s performances, these two layers have gone hand in hand, while on some occasions the children’s layer has stood on its own. But they have never performed a show exclusively for adults.

Until now.

On February 21, a so-called not-for-children concert with Ævintýraferðin will take place at OY. Dánjal and Búi will take the stage with a band, performing X-rated versions of well-known classics such as Grækaris Grashøvd, Snedigt, and Gentir og Dreingir.

The children’s party is cancelled — this is an adults-only ball!

The concert has an age limit of 18+.
No children. No (former) youngsters. And preferably no delicate souls.

Buy a ticket — if you dare…
