the US, Faroe Islands and Denmark.
Jakob Wredstrøm is just 19 and was a
finalist in Denmark’s version of Voice in
2012. We’ll hear a lot more about him
in the future, just check him out on
youtube.
By the way, if you’re on Facebook, Tea
has set up a new Facebook group for
Danes in Brisbane/Gold Coast/Sunshine
Coast and further afield. Another way
to keep in touch with the Danish
community.
If you have any ideas for activities you
would like to see at the club, let your
committee know.
From the Editor
Fastelavn was a colourful start to the
new club year with many original and
weird and
wonderful outfits.
Next year we may
even see more
adults all dressed
up: the Viking
family and Batman
may have started a
new trend.
Fantastic to
experience the
huge support for
the party.

from 6 pm
Come visit the club and catch up with new and old friends. There’s tasty ‘smørrebrød’: the menu varies from time to time, but you’ll usually find ‘rullepølse’ (spicy
rolled pork), smoked salmon, roast beef, ‘leverpostej’, roast pork and ‘Esrom’ cheese
on the menu. And hot dogs. The bar is stocked with fresh Tuborg and Carlsberg beer
varieties imported from Denmark just for us as well as several Australian brews. If
you prefer a glass of wine with your food, we have a good variety of whites, reds and
sparkling on offer.
It’s also an opportunity to buy delicious Danish pastries, rye bread and other specialty
breads and organic biscuits direct from Britt’s Danish Delights. Tea offers smallgoods
and quality meats from Flemming, the Danish butcher at Woolloongabba, as well as
her own goodies including remoulade. It’s a good idea to order in advance and pick
up at the café.

Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas in concert - Wednesday 20 March, 7.30pm
The musical partnership between Alasdair Fraser, long regarded as Scotland’s premier fiddle ambassador, and the highly
talented young Californian cellist Natalie Haas has been one of the most exciting recent developments in Scottish traditional
Music. Alasdair has been at the top of Scottish fiddle league for more than 30 years with a long list of awards, accolades,
television credits, and feature movie soundtracks (Last of the Mohicans, Titanic). His musical partnership with Natalie, a
graduate of the Juilliard School of Music, is the fulfilment of a long-standing musical dream for Fraser, whose cutting-edge
musical explorations took him full circle to find a cellist who could help him return the cello to its historical role at the rhythmic
heart of Scottish dance music. www.alasdairfraser.com
The Brisbane concert will feature special guests, Brisbane’s own The Wish List (Emma Nixon and Nicole Murray) showcasing
the amazing art of fiddlesinging. Their gorgeous harmony singing with their fiddles brings Scottish and Australian songs vividly
to life. Check their Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Wish-List/270894022971612) for more info.

Music from the Faroe Islands
at the Danish Club
Friday 12 April 2013
Doors open at 6.30 pm for 7.30 pm start
Jákup Lützen, violin, viola
Kristian Blak, piano
Kristian Blak is a central figure in the Faroe Islands musical life. Since the 70s he has
toured widely with folk bands Spælimenninir and Kvonn, as well with own ethno jazz
band Yggdrasil. Just over the last few months Kristian has performed in Estonia,
Iceland, Northernmost Greenland, USA, Austria, Canada, Germany. Kvonn visited
Australia in 2007 and 2010.
Jálup Lützen joined Kristian and other folkies in Faroe as a young child, and has
developed to be a very versatile musician. Still studiying viola at the Royal Danish
Conservatory in Copenhagen, he also plays folk music and improvised music. In the
classical world he plays chamber music, and all March 2013 he has been selected to be
performing on tour with the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra.
On the tour to Australia, Jákup & Kristian will play traditional and new folk music from
the Faroe Islands as well as music from other Nordic countries. On some of the concerts
the focus will be on improvisation based on folk and ethnic music.
The Faroe Islands are situated in the North Atlantic Ocean between Norway and Iceland.
North West of Shetland.
Brisbane-based KUPALEJA, with members Kurt & Pat Christensen, Lennart Lovdin and
Jan Palmer (guitar and vocal, bass guitar, Swedish key fiddle or nyckelharpa, accordion)
will support Jakup & Kristian.
KUPALEJA plays a variety of Scandinavian music such as traditional folk dance tunes,
folk songs, children’s songs, Christmas carols at various Scandinavian events in
Brisbane. They also dance with the Danish folk dance group Heimdal and play at the
annual Nordfest in Sydney. KUPALEJA has also played at the National Folk Festival in
Canberra, at the Fraser Coast Cultural Festival and at FOAN folk concerts in Brisbane.
Scandinavian Festival
Sunday 8 September 2013
Last year the Scandinavian Festival returned after a 22 year break and it was an absolute
success not only for the Danish Club celebrating our 140th birthday but also for our relations
within the Scandinavian community.
By putting the spotlight on Scandinavia, we attracted over 5,000 visitors to the festival and all
clubs gained new members. Far from all Danes – and other Scandinavians - living in Brisbane
and surrounds are aware of our club, so it is an important opportunity to increase awareness.
The festival included entertainment by the Danish Folk Dancers and KUPALEJA, and we are
hoping that this year’s event will bring more Danish and Scandinavian entertainers.
The festival also presented an opportunity for typical Danish crafts to be displayed and sold to
the public – bead weaving, Christmas decorations, furniture, clothing and much more –
remember if YOU are producing typical Danish craft, you can also attend with a stall.
Last year was a steep learning curve and we really need more volunteers to come in and give a
hand – anything from a couple of hours to the full day – the committee members are hard at it
all day – and days before that, and getting support from members is crucial to making this a
long term success.
The result from the sales of Danish food was a great boost to our budget, so it is definitely a
worthwhile exercise and it replaces our annual participation in the Queensland Multicultural
Festival – which sort of replaced the Warana Festival of the past – the common factor is that
the Danish Club has always been an active part of these community events and it is important
for us to continue our involvement.
Please let me or any member of the committee know that you would like to participate – we
will call volunteers and stallholders to meetings closer to the event and discuss tasks and
times.

As trade prospered, by the beginning of the 15th
century Rønne was repeatedly plundered and
burnt by the Lübeckers from northern Germany.
Rønne
Rønne is the largest town on the Danish island of
Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. It has a population of
13,887 (1 January 2012).
Owing to its natural harbour and its strategic
position in the Baltic Sea, Rønne has an
interesting history. Today, with its cobbled
streets, half-timbered houses and fine museums,
it attracts visitors mainly from Germany, Sweden
and Poland.
History
Rønne probably originated around year 1000
when a small fishing community grew up around
the natural harbour. Around 1275, a small chapel
dedicated to St Nicolas was built on the site
where Rønne's church now stands. The community soon obtained status of a market town with its
own mayor and council and its own law court. By
the beginning of the 14th century, the Danish
king, the Archbishop of Lund and even various
north German princes were all competing for
control. The Germans took a special interest in
Bornholm because of its strategic position in the
Baltic Sea between the German coast and Visby
in Gotland, off the coast of southern Sweden.
Old low houses in Rønne
In 1525, they took control of Bornholm as
compensation for the large debts that Denmark
was unable to repay. German merchants were
allowed to establish their own businesses.
Though the Lübeckers contributed to the success
of the fishing trade, they demanded ever-higher
taxes from the local population. The citizens took
revenge, chasing the Lübeckers off while allowing
other German communities to remain. In 1576,
control of Rønne returned to the Danish Crown.
By this time, the Baltic Sea had lost much of its
strategic importance. The fishing industry
declined and after the town was twice struck by
the plague in 1619 and 1655, it took decades for
it to recover.
In April 1658, in the midst of the Dano-Swedish
war, Denmark ceded Bornholm to Sweden under
the Treaty of Roskilde. The occupation was shortlived as the Swedes were overcome by the local
population in December of the same year.
In 1834, Rønne Town Hall was built on Store Torv,
the main square. This important building was the
centre of administration in Rønne and Bornholm
and included the island's courthouse and jail.
At the end of World War II, on 7 and 8 May 1945,
the town was bombed by Soviet aircraft when the
commandant of the German occupying forces
refused to surrender. Although the rest of
Denmark had been liberated on 4 May, the
Russians occupied Bornholm on 9 May, sending
the Germans back to Germany. The Russians did
not leave until 5 April 1946 when an agreement
was reached with the Danish authorities and the
island finally reverted to Denmark.
Many houses in Rønne were damaged by the
bombs and it took several years to rebuild the
town, retaining its traditional architecture, quaint
streets and half-timbered houses.
Economy
The economic status of Rønne grew dramatically
during the Middle Ages with the development of
the herring industry. However, by the late 16th
century, the fishing industry had begun to decline
and for the next 300 years there was practically
no further growth. The ceramic industry in the
town surpassed that of the fishing industry and
has continued into modern times, with as many
as 50 ceramics shops in Rønne today. Tourism is
now the most important contributor to the local
economy.
Rønne architecture
Notable landmarks include the Bornholm
Museum, the Defence Museum (Forsvarsmuseet),
St Nicolas' Church, the Smedegårds riding school
in the southern part of town, and the lighthouse,
which was built in 1880 (decommissioned in
1989).
Grandfather clocks
Skt. Nicolaj Kirke
Bornholm longcase clock
Rønne also became famous for its longcase clocks
or Bornholmer ure which were manufactured
from the middle of the 18th century until around
1900. In 1744, a Dutch ship sailing from England
ran aground off Rønne carrying five grandfather
clocks which were damaged in the accident. In
view of the clocks' value, the sailors called on
Poul Ottesen Arboe, a local turner, who was able
to repair them. As a result of the experience he
gained in the repair work, he was able to
manufacture clocks himself, giving birth to a new
local industry.
Landmarks
The town has some quaint cobbled streets and
low-timbered houses. Two streets of particular
interest are Laksegade and Storegade, which
contain many historic houses.
St Nicolas's Church, with its distinctive tower, is
part of the Diocese of Copenhagen. It stands on
the site of a 13th century church of which some
sections can still be seen. Forsvarsmuseet, or the
Rønne Defence Museum, is housed in a round
tower with walls 3.5 m (11 feet) thick known as
Kastellet or the citadel. Other notable buildings
include Rønne Public Library, the Nordea Bank
and old merchant/noble warehouses and
residences: Erichsens Gård (1806), now a
museum, the neo-classical Kommandantgården
(1846), now a ceramics museum, and
Amtmandsgården. Toldboden (1624), a merchant
warehouse, is one of Rønne's oldest halftimbered buildings. The Torhus building (1834), at
the side of the square, is the former town hall,
courthouse and jail. Rønne Theatre (1823) is
Denmark's oldest provincial theatre still in active
use. Hovedvagten at Søndergade 12 was built as
a guard house in 1744 with bricks from Hammershus which was being demolished at the time. It is
the oldest brick house in the town.

Påskeharen i Danmark
I Danmark er påskeharen forholdsvis ny i påsken. Den er efterhånden lige så
populær som påskelam, påskekyllinger og påskeæg. Nede i Sønderjylland er
det tradition, at man påskemorgen lader børnene lede efter de påskeæg, som
påskeharen har lagt i haven natten til påskedag. Dvs. man siger at
påskemorgen er dagen hvor man skal have lagt noget lunt og blødt ud i haven
(en form for rede), så påskeharen har et dejligt sted at lægge sine påskeæg.
Det er derfor en god ide at samle kviste græs og mos til at bygge en lun rede
af, hvis man gerne vil have besøg af påskeharen :-)
Påskeharen i Sønderjylland stammer fra Tyskland. Den kom til Danmark
omkring 1900-tallet. Den er aldrig rigtig kommet længere end til Sønderjylland
og en smule på de sydfynske øer. Men ideen med en påskehare er lidt på linje
med nisser, der putter slik eller gaver i julesokken. Så hvis andre i Danmark har lyst til at lokke påskeharen på
besøg i deres have, så er det bare med at lave nogle dejlige reder, som den kan lægge sine påskeæg i.
Påske i gamle dage
Trante æg
Helt frem til slutningen af 1800-tallet var en påsketradition at farve og trante
æg. Det at trante æg, er en leg hvor man triller farvede æg ned af en bakke
eller en anden skrå flade. Hvis man rammer et af de andre æg, vinder man.
Man kan også se hvilket æg der triller længst og lade det være med til at afgøre
vinderen. Men som sagt var det i gamle dage, nu om dage synes de fleste
sikkert, at der er andre lege, der er sjovere.
Det med at trille æg som en leg, mener man stammer fra Tyskland. Legen
kendes også fra England, Sverige og Frankrig tilbage i år 1600.
Andre æggelege
Af andre æggelege, har der i gennem tiden været tradition for at lave ægge-kapløb, hvor to personer dyster mod
hinanden i discipliner som: løbe et reb rundt om en stang ind at den anden når at finde et antal gemte æg, eller
den ene person løber en bestemt strækning mens den anden skal finde æg med bind for øjnene. Den er først
bliver færdig med sin "disciplin" har vundet.
Mad og drikke i påsken
I påsken er der i Danmark tradition fo,r at man fejrer denne med en masse god
mad til en påskefrokost. Påskefrokosten er traditionsrig på samme måde som
julefrokoster. Til påskefrokosten serveres typisk øl, ikke mindst påskebryg der
oftest sælges af bryggerierne lige op til påske.
I påskedagene serveres der i Danmark også en del chokolade - både i form af
påskeæg i ren chokolade, marcipanæg, chokoladekurve og mange andre
variationer.

Fastelavn
Saturday 9 February 2013
Saturday afternoon, the club house filled with more than 65 kids dressed up as fairies and
princesses, pirates and pixies, an unwilling lady bird, dinosaur and dragon, a chef, Pippi
Longstocking, Vikings, Batman & Robin and many others and with over 80 adults joining
the kids, it was a full house and a fine day. Fantastic outfits and great to see adults
dressing up, too.
KUPALEJA opened the ball with a range of Danish children’s songs used for decades to
teach Danish kids the Danish language – and it’s good exercise to work up some appetite
for the main event – The Bashing of The Barrel!
After surviving several Fastelavn parties, the old barrel caved in last year and Alan made
a new one. The play group decorated it innovatively with finger prints (and maybe even
foot prints) and black cats. It was hard work to get to the goodies inside the barrel, but in
the end all the goodies spilled out for all to share. And the new barrel was destined for
the rubbish bin after that. Alan will have to start over now.
Our Danish baker’s famous Fastelavnsboller were a great success and sadly we ran out
way too early. Thanks to Carsten, our intrepid æbleskivebager of Gilleleje fame, there
were lots of freshly baked æbleskiver on offer as well as hot dogs and ice cream cones.
The event concluded with the crowning of the best-dressed boy and girl – congratulations
to Toby for looking just like a Smurf and to Tilde (second year winner) with Mr Nelson for
her colourful Pippi Longstocking outfit.
Getting ready to hit the beautifully decorated barrel
Crown Princess Mary of Denmark and Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark escaped to Verbier,
Switzerland for a family holiday earlier this month..
Showing that she is more than just your average princess, Mary had fun sledding with her four children, Prince
Christian, 7,Princess Isabella, 5, and her one-year-old twins Princess Josephine and Prince Vincent.
The Danish royals looked more than comfortable in their snow bunny gear as they posed for the press and spent
time playing in the snow. (source: Women’s Day)
Nyt fra eksiltinget.dk
Som tidligere omtalt afleverede vi 10. september 2011 - 2500 underskrifter til såvel den danske
statsminister som til FNs kommissær for menneskerettigheder som en opfordring til at give
udlandsdanskere stemmeret i en revideret Grundlov, idet den oprindelige grundlovsgivende forsamling
ikke i 1849 kunne forventes at tænke 160 år frem.
Sagen blev henlagt fordi den nye danske regering, der tiltrådte kort tid efter, i sit program havde en
grundlovsændring. Det ser nu ud til, at der som tidligere er gået 'syltekrukke' i sagen, og det er nu tid til
igen at trække i arbejdstøjet, nu med det formål at skaffe mere end 100.000 underskifter som opfordring
til at der nu også kommer en revision af Grundloven...
Til det formål skal der mere end en ansigtsløftning af vore e-mails til, og vi vil derfor opfordre alle læsere til
at gøre en alvorlig indsats for at få vore omgivelser til at forstå, hvor vigtig en sådan revision er, ikke blot
for stemmeretten, men i særdeleshed for andre forhold som lige adgang til Folketinget, adskillelse af kirke
og stat, beskyttelse af individets rettigheder, fastlæggelse af Statens eneret, revision af retssystemet og
meget mere! Gå til www.eksiltinget.dk for flere oplysninger.
