The Musical Slave - "NO PLAN" (a song about a horse yard in Dublin)
"No Plan" - winner of the audience award for best short documentary, at the Irish Film Institute´s Documentary Film Festival, in 2017.
"No Plan" was screened in numerous festivals, including the 29th Galway Film Festival in Ireland, Irish Screen America in New York, and Panorama Eurofilm in Cairo.
In a part of Dublin known as the Liberties, which is also where the Vikings settled 1000 years ago, there is a small community of rebel horse owners. And a few years ago, a travelling street musician who goes by the name, "The Musical Slave", accidentally crashed her van into the wall of one of their urban horse yards - and out came a horse and a few boys. One of them brought her for a spin with a horse and two-wheeler, and from that day on she was hooked. She ended up buying her own horse and moving him into the yard...
The Musical Slave is a musician and filmmaker from Norway. She plays tropical punk and sings about people, cosmic forces, and the world economy. She also makes short films that combine the genres of documentary, fiction and music video.

irish people are best people in the world !
Norwegi, I listen to you when I use my scooter to work and it feels like I'm not going to work.
Where has the music Viking Celtic goddess gone from this world,I really miss your talented inspirational words which pulled me and my family through the covid scamdemic
This still hasn’t received the recognition it deserves. 🐴
I have no idea what the back story to this is but This is the best thing I have seen in a while. Only 250k views in 6 yrs is criminal, the Irish are a sad bunch
I am Danish and this woman is far more viking than anyone from my Scandinavia. Amazing connection you have with these teens.
How can this still not even have a million views.
I never thought I'd be so moved by something called Choke My Chicken.

First, listen to this brilliance 7yrs ago when it was first released. Still listening to you girl, such a talent. Thank you for this peace of genius. 🙏💪
I am a Dubliner living in London. I've only just discovered this amazing Artist, Norwigi, and I absolutely Love her Pure Flowing Energy. Her lyrics just cascade effortlessly from the Infinite, unfiltered, through her and her instruments to whoever is lucky enough to hear. Beautiful !!💚🎼💚
Authentic and totally original. No styling, nothing contrived. Just beautifully written lyrics and a catchy tune. The music video is more like an observational documentary that's set to a cool music video pace.
Goosebumps
Fantastic brilliant song I know them lads great boys always there to help people 👏👏👏
Good to know there are still some real and lively people living their own lives
Still brilliant. Real Dublin.
Thanks Matt & Noel for bringing me here

Really wonderful art . The very best kind of art. As a Dubliner I think what this young artist has done stuns me in it gorgeous,generous vast simple act of love . Real ART . Thank you
Wow... its a long time since ive been so mesmerized by a music video. Beauty through the eye of the beholder. BREATH TAKING...so real and honest......
Noel gallagher talking about this brought me here, very moving
This is just beautiful. Simplistic. I'm in love
Wow ! Haven't watched anything this moving in a long while. You have really connected to the authentic celtic heart I think. 'without the feeling I got nothing at all'. And great music.!!!
Hi Musical Slave, i think I've watched this video about 40 times now. I have to stop. It gives me a great, free feeling. thank you.

THE REASON FOR MUSIC, THE POWER OF PEOPLE! WOW
Love all of you and your magic van! Great song and singer song writer. Awesome horses.
This exactly captures the joy of being a teacher- seeing the amazingness of every kid and helping them feel their power that is unique and individual, and how they contribute to the whole. Her art flows via a pure channel from an open heart and a free imagination. And she uses it to lift people up! To see that something that some might criticize is actually a strength when it is harnessed. Horse metaphor intended! Bless you for your gift!
Moving, insightful, energetic hilarious and simply brilliant. A woman who looks at these young men and sees their essential worth. A blast of humanity and a snapshot capture of a hidden part of the pulsing heart of our capital city. Well done Norwigi and the people who constructed this entertaining piece of art. I love it! Bualadh bós mór go leor!!!

Brings a joyful tear to my eye every time 💪🏽🌱💚🎶 Still as beautiful now as the first time I watched it 🫶🏼
Fuck this is brilliant in so many ways! Never heard about this artist before. Didnt know there were boys riding horses in the streets of Dublin either. Some of the coolest thing I've seen in a long time! Fuck Kanye West and his Grand Canyons. This is music video!
This is Absolutely Amazing
I love this so much
Absolutely Love this Refreshingly authentic folk music ..which gas brought tears to so many eyes becouse its so beutifull and powerfull and honest, sung with integrity....all of NOWIGI tunes are brilliant ....ive sent it to peopke who irganise festivals ...hooe to see you and your crew in one ...to bring celtic folk soul to the hearts of the human race in a wholesome shot of mesmerising wonderment ... With an important message about the battle us psychic warriors of gaia are fighting against the psychopathic billionaires trying to enslsve us ... Baz pirste xfrom N.wales ...celtic family """ hiraeth """"
I was 4 when I first rode on the back of a horse… the connection a feel with these creatures is so strong… the flashbacks a get when I see this video reminds me of my childhood, so many years of great memories and great feelings. Racing up and down the hills, crossing a river with the water covering your knee… the clatter of hoofs when entering town… funny how memory works, it’s just what coffee does, brings great memories and feelings back to life. Thank you
Still come back to watch this piece of art. 👌

Wow! I grew up in the Liberties, been living away from Ireland for 7 years...... That's home, exactly that! Nothing could have made me feel so at home all these thousands of miles away. A big emotional thank you is being sent your way. Modern Warriors and Legends, all of you!!!
This is the nicest story, movie, song I have heard in way too long. It made my day....or shal I say, it made my summer. Knallbra på alle måter.
So good. Pure love. Nothing slapping someone who hits you with a brush to get things back on track. The happiness in all your faces is class. Well done.
Deadly bleeding song
You're a cool lady Norwigi. Coming to Dublin, embracing a part of it and writing a song that captures something unique.
Power to you Norwigi and the boys on The Lane. Only just discovered this and totally Inspirational.
This is the best thing I have seen in a long time.... And I'm not normally one for leaving comments.... What a fine piece of art.!!!
From the Viking sagas and the Irish anals it is well documented that the vikings and the Irish Warriors actually respected eachothers Bravery after the battle of clontarf the battle was so famous it was a shame for a Viking if they couldn't say they had a relation that took part they mention that never had they met enemies who fought so ferocious as the Irish like wise the Irish prasied vikings skills and weaponry nice to see them together great video
best 12 minutes I've had in ages... class to the core
that is some accepting education!! all teachers and social workers can learn from her!
This is phenomenal... made me cry... thank you.
Love it! Love it, love it, love it!!!! Amazing. This is the kind of music the world needs. Magic.
Deadly !
This is so beautiful, how she appreciates their love and happiness and that’s what’s important. And brings art and love to them
I'm so glad you exist in this world. Thanks for putting your words in peoples ears. You fucking legend. Really hope I bump into ya some day. ;) You deserve every ounce of happiness you get.
What a intelligent and talented lady
Still in love with this song and the story you are musically telling. It always feels like being dragged into a couple-of-hours-movie of someone who's got a great story to tell. Big love to Norwigi!

Just dropping back in for a listen. Hope "Norwigi" and all the lads are doing well! Heads up, we'll get through this!
Much love
My eyes are leaking at the beauty of this.
The most beautiful, earthy, unassuming and humbling person I have seen in a long time. Norwigi I take my hat off to you!
I was ready to close the video 30 seconds in but after a minute I was hooked. What a great video/story. Very enjoyable.
der Hammer!!!
So funny how many people in my village know the lyrics to this, like 8 people the other day that i never listened to the song with, were all singing along with me haha
Takk for dette! For en opplevelse... one love
Wow! Totally blown away! The best 12 minutes I've spent in years!
This is outstanding Love and beauty will always thrive if we're strong enough to let them
Brill,....... best wishes with your new arrival .
Brilliant so wonderful and beautiful and true.
I'm not Irish, I've never been to the Liberties, but just like you I came to find the magic here; and there is so much magic to be found! Your song and the stories in it became part of my world, it was like finding an old friend I haven't met before. I'd love to join the celtic warrior tribe and grow food and make music! Give us a shout when you're back :-)
Everlastingly powerful. Always gives me shivers, very few things do this in my life but this is one. Simply perfect. This is much much needed in the world. Thank you so much.
Flott!! I love this, she taught the lads a great lesson in just sticking your neck out and being yourself
Everything about this amazing!!!
Ummm, that is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen on KZread. So moving and inspiring! Wow, what a powerful woman and her tribe.
Love the organ notes floating in and out here,feels like I made it to Memphis through the streets of Dublin.
