Northern California Spelmanslag Newsletter

The Spelmanslag publishes the Northern California Spelmanslag News quarterly: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter . The first volume was published in September 1990. The newsletter keeps musicians, dancers, and members of the Scandinavian community informed regarding our activities. The newsletter includes a calendar of Scandinavian folk music and dance activities in Northern California and elsewhere, news about the Spelmanslag organization, and articles of interest. This newsletter keeps other groups informed regarding Scandinavian folkdance and music activities in Northern California, and provides an outlet for them to inform others of their own special events.
