Forkunnug konsert við Martin Joensen

Martin Joensen telist millum bjartastu tónleikastjørnurnar yvirhøvur, ið bæði meistrar at skriva egnar tekstir og løg. Sangir sum Ró, Morgun, Lat meg goyma teg, Uttan Teg, 60’ini og Svarti Ravnur eru langtsíðani blivnir fólkaogn. Klassiskarin“Ró” fekk enntá í 2018 heiðurin sum tann besti føroyski sangurin seinastu 50 árini.

Seks og tredivu av songskattum hansara finnast í Grønu sangbók, umframt, at Martin eisini hevur skrivað fleiri sálmar bæði í føroysku sálmabókini og nýggju sangbókini hjá Brøðrasamkomuni.

Fleiri minnast óivað Martin væl frá Vestmonnum, men hann varð fyrst virkin í Vestmannabólkinum Fox og seinni útisetabólkinum Avføringar. Seinastu mongu árini hevur tað tó fyrst og fremst verið sum solistur, at vit eru sloppin at njóta ríku sangskattirnar hjá honum.

Millum flottastu heiðrarnar kunnu nevnast virðisløn M.A. Jacobsens fyri fagrar bókmentir í 2007 og Ársins tónleikaheiður á FMA í 2022. Tí var tað einki annað enn sjálvsagt, at ungu spírarnir í Hoydølum tulkaðu hansara sangir í allarfyrstu av fleiri sendingum fyrr í ár.

Sum Martin sigur, “Eg fari at syngja og spæla eitt hóskandi bland av mínum sangum – líka frá byjanini fyrst í 70unum og til dagin í dag. Eg vænti, at vit fáa eina hugnaliga løtu saman”.

Á Biskupstøðgarði verður sitið við borð við 4 plássum, so tað er umráðandi at bíleggja í einum ella viðmerkja, um tit vil sita saman. Lítli køkur hevur opið við brellbitum, góðum víni, øli og spennandi teið.

Dyrnar lata upp kl 19:00 so tað er møguligt at finna seg til rættis, og at keypa sær okkurt gott at njóta, áðrenn tónleikurin byrjar.

Martin Joensen is one of the brightest stars in Faroese music, equally accomplished as a lyricist and composer. Songs such as “Ró,” “Morgun,” “Lat meg goyma teg,” “Uttan teg,” “60’ini” and “Svarti ravnur” have long since become part of the Faroese musical heritage. In 2018, the classic “Ró” was even named the best Faroese song of the previous 50 years.

Thirty-six of his musical treasures are included in the Green Songbook. Martin has also written several hymns featured in both the Faroese hymnbook and the new songbook of the Faroese Brethren movement.

Many will undoubtedly remember Martin from the band Vestmenn. However, he first became active in the Vestmanna-based group Fox and later played with Avføringar, a band formed by Faroese musicians living abroad. In recent decades, audiences have primarily enjoyed his rich catalogue of songs through his work as a solo artist.

Among his most prestigious honours are the M.A. Jacobsen Literature Award in 2007 and the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Faroese Music Awards in 2022. It was therefore only fitting that the young talents at Hoydalar interpreted his songs in the first of several programmes broadcast earlier this year.
As Martin says:

“I will sing and play a fitting selection of my songs, ranging from the very beginning in the early 1970s right up to the present day. I expect we will have a lovely evening together.”

At Biskupstøðgarðurin, guests will be seated at tables accommodating four people each. If you wish to sit together, please book your tickets as one group or leave a note with your booking. Our charming kitchen will be open, serving light bites, carefully selected wines, beer and a variety of speciality teas.

Doors open at 7:00 pm, giving guests time to find their seats and purchase refreshments before the music begins.
