All this does is of course to make the urge even stronger. I´m getting pretty… Read more »
Some Serious Planning Going On
We had a really good time in Gothenburg this weekend, practicing new music during the day and having endless debates about where we should go for this summer´s big fishing trip during the night.

Getting to Know Copenhagen
Hello! The airliners don’t make bass player’s lives very easy. When I moved to Copenhagen from Finland just before christmas I had so much stuff that I couldn’t even think of carrying my double bass with me.
