Are you looking for a musician or a band for, for example, a folk music festival or a Viking or Medieval event? Or perhaps a studio musician with old folk instruments? Then I may be able to help you. My name is Hans Christian Molbech, and I have worked with music for many years, especially with historical music, both by interpreting old manuscripts and composing my own Nordic folk music songs.

I perform mostly with the bands Almune and Jotunger, but I also do booking, management, studio work, album productions and more for other bands and projects in Aulos.

My primary instruments are vocals (classical/folk tenor), recorder, gemshorn (the cow horn flute in the picture below), lur, frame drum and landsknecht drum. I also have a rather large selection of percussion instruments and woodwinds such as pipes, willow flutes, shawms and more, so I can bring a lot of instruments to an event and give examples and a short lecture on their uses and historical background.

Most of my performances and activities are in Denmark, where I’m living in Holstebro in West Jutland. I’ve been touring all summer and autumn at Danish historical festival and events for a lot of years, but in recent years, I’ve also been to Norway and Scotland, and are happy to do more international collaboration projects and tours.
