Show a little faith there's magic in the night
The tour has finally begun! For me and Oliver I mean. Manchester 2 was the first of nine shows we’ll see together on this leg of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s Land of Hope and Dreams Tour.

It was one of those rare Gothenburg spring evenings where the weather actually cooperates. My friend Ann-Sofie and I met for some food and beer at an Indian restaurant and we could sit outside without freezing our asses off. By the time we walked up to the venue. Konserthuset, for the concert, the sun was... Continue Reading →

When Jason Isbell announced his ”An Intimate Evening with Jason Isbell”-tour, I knew this was a show I didn’t want to miss. However, with only five dates in Europe (and none of them in Sweden) it was going to be tricky to find a suitable one. Luckily, a week’s school holiday in February fitted quite... Continue Reading →
