- Bands
- Solo artists
- Stand Up Comedians
Please see the mix of exiting artists that have already performed at Nordic Nights below
SALA
Songwriter & performer SALA has a special talent of turning an ordinary moment into a party. Through music he finds expression for feelings and experiences ranging from the most explosive celebrations to the most intense of solitude. As a performer, Sala is all about giving everything he has. With no stage fright to plague him, he is playful, improvisational and in love with the show. For him music is all about making that raw connection between the performer and the audience – to reach out, ultimately, to every single listener. “That connection is what art is for me. Even in the height of the party, there needs to be that. It’s about moving people. In every way I can.”
And as he works, he lives on in his endless string of party after party, all imbued with music. Sometimes it seems the night never ends in Sala’s world. Drawing energy from listeners, he plays for hours. For this Nnight Sala will be playing a set of his own extremely catchy retro britpop PLUS all the cover numbers we love!!

THE SHOW IS A HIT, literally. These guys will take you through a set some of the rock classics as well as a selection of their own awesome Rock/Glam songs. ITS WILD! The band members are a pack of criminals who decided to turn their back on a life of petty crime and forge a life in the world of showbiz. Gareth - vocals and debt collecting, Nick - guitar and credit card fraud, Laurence - bass and identity theft and Russell - drums and feng shui. Music critics will tell you that these guys are immense and should be playing in the big arenas pretty soon.

ROB COWEN & The DISSIDENTS
Hailing from the Yorkshire moors, singer-songwriter Rob Cowen fronts a band that preaches impossibly addictive epic folk. Part poems, part Spector-like anthems, these are swaggering songs from this country’s heartlands, unforgettable in-your-face fairytales of social conscience, society and survival, drawing comparisons with the likes of Elbow and Arcade Fire.
What BBC Radio says about Rob Cowen:
“Pouring stories straight to your head and heart, finger-picking fairytales of darkness and light.”
