Thanks for this year!

17. April 2012 by Kamil Dzielinski

Dear ROD2012 participants – many thanks for a fantastic ROD! Despite difficulties with the school and the cramped space, you showed everyone again why ROD is an event that is more than the sum of its parts. Thanks for that!

Facebook

To keep contact alive ROD is represented on Facebook (at least) four locations:

A page, where the working group communicates with the participants.
A group, where all participants can talk with each other.
A group for Århus.
A group for Copenhagen.

Jamsessions and running events

Every first Wednesday of the month there is a ROD-jam in Copenhagen, which is arranged in this group.
If you like Irish, The Bloomsday Bar in Copenhagen (Niels Hemmingsen Gade 32) has a jam every Sunday at 3pm. (It appears that Bloomsday has been sold, and the jams up there are uncertain for now.)
Second Friday of each month the Folkets Hus Spillefolk holds their monthly jam “Ramslag”. It changes slightly when it is held, but keep you updated at http://spillefolk.dk/.
In Odensethere is a jam every other Thursday at Christian 4-tal (Vintapperstræde 31). Get more information at Folk Club Fyn.
In Aarhus there is a an Irish jam at Waxies (Frederiksgade 16) each Sunday at 3pm.
Each Monday there’s a Monday-dance at Århus Folkemusikhus.

FOD

RODs sister-event FOD is held every year in autumn holiday (week 42). Keep up to date at their site and Facebook group.

Education

In addition to conservatory education in folk music at Syddansk Musikkonservatorium og Skuespillerskole, you can take MGK with a focus on folk music in Kolding, Odense and Køge. It appears that an MGK and a conservatory in folk music is on it’s way to Århus, you can contact Julie Heebøll about that.

If you want to work with folk music at “højskole”, there are three good offers in Sweden: Skurup, Bollnäs and Gotland.

Festivals

Each year ROD gets invited to a myriad of festivals where we play concerts. Watch your email for more info. For invitations and otherwise, working group 2012s festival officers, Rune and Martin, can be contacted on festival@rodfolk.dk. You can also contact the whole working group 2012.

The first festival ROD hase been invited to this year is the Odense Folk Festival (Facebook group) – it takes place from 18th to 20th of May in Odense – you will get more info about it on email.

Concert recordings

The first Rough Cut version of the concert recording is now available. The recordings come from Rune Øster and Rune Colin, and they are edited by Kamil.

You can fetch the entire concert (292MB), or single tracks.

The entire concert was also recorded in a more professional manner. This “real” recording requires much more work, and come out “when it gets done.”

Thanks!

We are very proud and thankful for having contributed to the creation of this years ROD – see you out there!

With a lot of love,
Working Group 2012 ♥

Tomorrow!

29. March 2012 by Kamil Dzielinski

Hi all! We’re looking very much forward to tomorrow, when ROD2012 begins!

Some of you haven’t discovered that we have changed the location to Rolfsted Skole, Skolevej 6, 5863 Ferritslev Fyn.

For those of you who missed it, we wrote about transport possibilities in the participant letter.

See you tomorrow!

Changes & reminders

22. March 2012 by Kamil Dzielinski

Dear all!

In the last-minute we’ve changed the location of ROD to Rolfsted Skole (address) — and it’s also there that our concert will take place.

We’ve been made aware that some of you didn’t notice that ROD2012 will be a day longer than last year! This means that we end ROD at Friday the 6th of April.

Last weekend we sent out a participant-letter to your email adresses, and we’re still working on translating it to English. We’ll post an update here when it’s done.

Please be aware that the transport to Rolfsted can be difficult. We will do our best to describe it in the participant-letter, but don’t hesitate to contact us if you need help.

We look forward to seeing you in just 8 days!

Registration & waiting list

16. February 2012 by Kamil Dzielinski

Yesterday (February 15th), we’ve sent out confirmation emails of the payments from the third registration round.

All of the late and international payments must be on our account no later than 20 February (next Monday).

We are going to hand out waiting list spots at the 20th of February.

We’re looking forward to seeing you!

Update

6. February 2012 by Kamil Dzielinski

Hi all!

Today we managed to sent out links to the page where you can register the missing information, if you signed up in the third round.

If you didn’t to get your mail, check first your spam folder please, but otherwise contact us — we’ll sort it out :)

We’re looking forward to seeing you!

Sold out

1. February 2012 by Jens Christian Hillerup

All tickets for this year’s ROD have been sold out. We’re encouraging everyone to sign up for the waiting list.

The final registration phase!

1. February 2012 by Kamil Dzielinski

Hello folks!

We are very happy in the working group that there is so much support for our little event! We know that there were some problems during the last registration phase, so we have made some efforts to prevent it from happening again when the registration opens this evening at 18:00.

Tonight, when you’re registering for ROD2012, you will only have to fill in your name and e-mail address. In the confirmation e-mail you’ll receive, there will be a link to a page on which you’ll be able to fill in the rest of the information, after the onslaught has passed.

Should you be unfortunate enough not to get a spot in the third registration phase, we encourage everybody to register on the waiting list, which opens immediately after the registration phase. We’re very interested in getting an image of the actual interest in a larger number of participants, for use by next year’s working group. Last year, approximately the first 25 on the waiting list got into the event.

We wish you all success tonight at 18:00.

A stressed A-TEAM reports

16. January 2012 by Kamil Dzielinski

Unfortunately our website was partially down during the second round of registration, which is obviously regrettable. We in the Working Group would like to give you an exact time when you can sign up for ROD, so you are not dependent on chance or luck. Therefore, we closed registration as soon as we were able to. Some of you had managed to register nonetheless — and those of you who managed to do so will receive a direct confirmation email later today.

Payment & Registration

15. January 2012 by Kamil Dzielinski

We have experienced some problems with checking our account, and therefore we have not issued any confirmation of payments yet.

Therefore, we move the first payment deadline up to the 20th of January (next Friday) – and hopefully we can send out confirmations of your transfers before then.
To put it plainly: no one will be deleted from the list before the 20th on January. So if you have not paid yet, hurry up!

On a more positive note, we open the second registration phase tomorrow at 12:00 – we look forward to seeing your registrations!

Registration

1. January 2012 by Kamil Dzielinski

Thanks to all of you who took a moment to register for ROD2012 on New Year’s Eve, it’s been quite overwhelming for the working group to follow.

We experienced a minor technical issue, that resulted in some of you not receiving the confirmation email, so we will re-send them shortly.

To all of you who missed it this time, next registration round opens on Monday the 16th of January 2012 at 12:00.

The registration opens soon

28. December 2011 by Kamil Dzielinski

It’ll soon be the New Year’s eve and that means two things. The Working Group will meet in order to celebrate, party and look forward to ROD, and the registration opens!

If it have passed you by, let’s make it perfectly clear: registration for ROD2012 begins on the next Saturday at midnight.

In this context we wish to point out that this year we are introducing tough deadlines for payments. Read about them and payment in general on the payment page.

Now in English

18. December 2011 by Kamil Dzielinski

Following requests from many ROD-people, the working group created this English-language version of our site. It’s still a bit rough around the edges, but we’re hoping all of you non-danish speakers will enjoy it.

Take especially good look at our section explaining the registration and practical information. Also, we’re pretty proud of this year’s instructors.

Spread the word around! Hurra for a more international ROD!

Welcome

18. December 2011 by Kamil Dzielinski

Welcome to ROD2012′s new page. Pages in English will be added step by step, so please be patient. We will post an update here, and on our Facebook page once all the essential pages are translated.

We’re looking forward to seeing you all!
