Lukas  Lukas Lyngsø Munk Nielsen
The 28th of February 1993 a fiddle player was born. Even as a child Lukas was delighted by the music and became an apprentice to the fiddler Per Munksgaard. As the basic skills had grown solid he was taken under the wing of Scottish folk fiddler Sonya Christie who still teaches him regularly. Lukas carries a deep interest and respect for the fiddle and is in constant development. He was introduced to the stage by special occasion but today he's a steady third of the group. Between gigging and practice he finds time for school in Vejen Gymnasium.
