It was a very long day traveling from Göteborg to Borgholm, 42 mil, early in the morning and just go straight to Lundegård Refugee camp and play. But oh my god, it was a wonderful experience, the people that came and the children playing, dancing along side their parents… I will never forget this amazing concert! And they were so happy and really spreading their joy for music and maybe for a minute or so just be able to think about something else than just bad things and paper works and pondering.
In the evening we played a gig at Borgholms Kök och Bar, very different from the one earlier that day. We had some audience and it was nice to play together with the band. Tired, happy and full of emotions we got to bed early to travel all the long way back in the morning.
I want to say thank you to everyone who made this possible for us:
P-O Rylander and his company Rylander Musikproduktion for coming up with the idea and making things possible, Svensk Jazz and Postkodslotteriet for the grant Jazzify, Borhgolms Kök och Bar for making the second gig possible, Muslim and Rim for making the connection with the refugees and for a great poster, Lundegård Camping for letting us have the concert at your place, Maria Alåsen at Östran, the musicians- Teresa Indebetou, Malin Almgren and Jenny Kristoffersson.
And thank you all for coming to the concerts, I will never forget this!
