Short Summary

Woodpeckers Recorder Quartet is an international ensemble of virtuoso, prize-winning recorder players. We are so delighted to have been signed by the award-winning Norwegian recorder label LAWO Classics to record our first cd ‘Borrowed, not stolen…’. This is a concept that has been at the heart of what we do for many years, consisting of Baroque music intertwined with old folk tunes from each of our respective countries: Ireland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway. All the music is ‘borrowed’ from other constellations and is arranged especially for us. 

In March 2022, we spent four days recording in Oslo, and now we need a little helping hand to get to the next stage of production in order to be able release the cd in 2023!

What We Need & What You Get

We have a very specific budget for this cd recording, and we are lucky enough to have completed the first stage of the process. This Spring, we spent 3 wonderful days recording in Oslo with our recording engineer Tomas Wolden and producer Vegard Landaas.  What we now need in order to complete the process are the funds to cover the following:

• Post-production costs
• Editing and mastering
• Producer’s fee
• Booklet design + booklet texts
• Printing costs of the cd and booklet
• Promotion & marketing costs
