– It had never been done in any other context. When people make noise at a concert, I think: have they never given a talk in class or a speech at their sister’s wedding where people didn’t follow? That’s what artist Unni Wilhelmsen says, who has 30 years as an artist behind her – during which she has had a total of more than 3,000 concerts. – You are sabotaging other people’s experience, says Wilhelmsen about people who talk loudly during a concert. Photo: Backstage Management and Produksjon AS – It’s a collaboration. We have a common goal, both those on stage and those in the audience. Wilhelmsen says that Norwegians chatter more during concerts, and has an idea why this might be so. – We live in one of the world’s smallest countries. In Norway, you go where something is happening. And then you meet relatives and colleagues, and go through what has happened during the day during the hour and a half that the concert lasts. She says that this had never been done in other countries, such as Germany. – You are sabotaging other people’s experience. Is it inside talking while an artist is performing? Yes, people need to stop being party brakes! Why is this even an issue? Who cares? No, I paid to hear the artist sing. Don’t you talk! Show result Moyka: – Everything in moderation! Monika Engeseth from Nesbyen, better known by her stage name Moyka, believes that it is within, as long as you have respect for those around you. Moyka agrees with Wilhelmsen that the public in Germany in particular stands out.

She therefore believes that you must tolerate people talking during concerts, as long as it is not very disruptive. – Have you yourself been disturbed by people talking while you are performing? – Yes, it happens very often. And it is very different from country to country. The further away you are from Norway, the more respectful they are towards the artists who perform. Moyka agrees with Wilhelmsen that the public in Germany in particular stands out. – They listen a lot there, you can see that they follow along at the concert. – Not OK! Kongsberg Jazz Festival is well under way. People who have turned up there agree that it is not okay to talk while artists are performing. Vemund Strypet believes that people who want to speak should go to another place, so that you do not disturb the artists and the audience. Photo: Haakon Nesse Moreau / news – It is very distressing for everyone involved, both those on stage and otherwise in the audience. I think it’s a joke, says Vemund Strypet. He believes that people who want to speak should go to another place, so that you don’t disturb the artists and the audience. Anne Synnøve Pedersen and Oddny Ra agree that it is not appropriate to talk while artists are performing. KONGSBERG JAZZ: Anne Synnøve Pedersen and Oddny Ra believe that people who talk during a concert destroy others who want to join in. Photo: Haakon Nesse Moreau / news – It’s very annoying, I think. It destroys many others who want to hear a quiet, calm concert and enjoy the music, says Pedersen. – Totally agree, and especially when people have had too much to drink, there is a lot of nonsense that doesn’t belong in a concert, replies Ra.
