Seas Club...Tromso


In Victorian times Tromsø earned the moniker ‘Paris of the North’ but not for obvious reason of architecture, oh no, it was so called because the ladies of this artic circle outpost were wearing the latest fashions before the rest of Scandinavia. Today the adage still holds true and despite its diminutive size and remote location Tromsø oozes style and an eccentric musical palate.
This week Seas club is cohabiting in Kunstforenig with Anna Lise Steneth’s enlarged “The Kiss and Waste Project", the official festival information centre and the Seas Canteen & Bar. This neo-classical building was designed by Lars Solberg as a museum in 1894 and therefore can hold us all effortlessly. It’s a welcoming informal place and most importantly has extremely thick walls and is set back from the sea so we can make as much noise as we like! Tomorrow to lunch Seas Club we’ll be joined by Georgian VJ and film director Wato Tsereteli from Tbilisi and Tuesday of local VJ’s Elizabeth Brun & Erica Restoften will join us to sprinkle their magic over our eclectic playlist.
