"Tørfisk has been touring all over Denmark for many years and by doing some calculations we have found that in 2026 we will have our 45th anniversary. 45 years is a long time and we have a (whole) sea of good memories from the many concerts. We don't know exactly how many concerts, but it must have been around 5000.
The 45 years have also given us many friendships all around and many of our organizers and loyal audience members have been with us for a long time, thank you for that. We are very grateful for that.".
45 years have, so far, resulted in 21 CDs, 2 DVDs and a song and story book. The latest addition to the family is the CD "Nye Tider" which was released in 2025.
Since 1981, when it all started, it is worth mentioning that it has been with the same crew.
Tørfisk is known for their joy of playing, strong contact with the audience and ability to create a warm, festive and popular atmosphere.
They work perfectly for festivals, city parties, community centers, corporate events and larger private parties where you want live music with edge, charm and lots of recognition.
Tørfisk came out in 2017 with the CD "Vi ligger vandret", number 19 in the series and the songs were also released on cassette tape, which in these modern times is a completely "new" phenomenon.
The release is a mix of old and new material. In addition to new tracks that take their point of departure from everyday life in Thyborøn, receding hairlines and advanced age, the CD and cassette also contain – for the first time in 16 years – live tracks from two concerts recorded at Enslev Community Centre.
Since 1981, Tørfisk has provided the soundtrack to West Jutland, and is among the very best in Denmark at combining Irish-inspired folk music with their own compositions and personal lyrics.
The concerts are spiced up with robbery stories and top-level entertainment. Always with great joy in playing, a twinkle in the eye and a typical West Jutland charm.
They know how to get beyond the edge of the stage and touch on everyday topics, which are shot straight from the hip. The audience can never be completely safe. Maybe you are sitting right in the firing line - but the quartet knows how to tease from the stage in a good and sober way.
Tørfisk's concerts are characterized by a mix of both the new and the familiar. Because when you have a whole "Vesterhaw" of songs in the back catalog, it's hard to say goodbye to the old (good) songs. And then there's the simple reason, as they themselves say: "that they don't use more than three or four chords on the string instruments", which is precisely what the old songs are built on.
Facts
Dried fish (or stockfish) is unsalted fish that is naturally dried by the sun and wind on a rack or (less often) dried in actual drying facilities. In the wider world, it is mostly cod that is used for dried fish. It is also used in Thyborøn, but the fish that the orchestra Tørfisk is named after is a dab, which is the most common form of dried fish on the west coast of Jutland. In everyday speech it is called a “dabs” which is the English word for dab.
