British and Irish folkrock with guts, atmosphere and celtic undertones is the trademark of FolkPort. Their varied musical concept covers everything between punchy trad.- and dancetunes and poetic ballads and instrumentals.
With their unique joy in performance, relaxed stage presence and a perfect mix between their own and more traditional music, FolkPort creates a mutual music pub mood. Whether it’s on a large festival stage or at a smaller concert venue doesn’t matter. It happens every time. You can set your mind at peace with epic ballads or sing along to nasty drinking tunes but you will surely not be able to sit still when FolkPort stir up their punchy dancetunes, jigs & reels.
After some years on the road with their music FolkPort is a band in demand for festivals and concert venues in Norway and abroad and they performed at their third Skagen Festival in Denmark in 2007.

Priestess was signed on to play at the illustrious Labyrinth of Jareth ball in
2003, and although she treated them to an amazing selection of her electronic
art, the Fae court demanded the magickal sounds of acoustic vibration. Inspired,
High Priestess called a bevy of amazing artists to her side, cleanly and openly
explaining her need, nay, want for all of those who hear her music to be
transported to another place. A place of Divine worship and trancendance of the
spirit. She wanted to bring the fire in her heart into a band that's destiny was
to create music which would awaken the hearts of those who listened, bringing
them closer to the Goddess Light. The songs were wrought from the fibers of her
true inner heart, weaved through the music to create a change in the very fabric
of reality. The musicians formed a devoted core who honed their skills during a
residency at the historic Kibbitz Room at Canter's Deli through 2006. They
practiced their faerie magick in the heart of Hollywood... calling sprites and
vampires and Goddesses to their aid. High Priestess wrote songs calling home the
glittering tribe of Those Who Hear... singing with intention to awaken all to
share her bliss. Now they have released an album with the sweetest of these
tunes. Come, follow the members of High Priestess as they sing their OakSong,
into the heart of the forest...
