I've changed a lot since I first came," she goes on. "Of course I've gotten older, but also musically I've changed.
"I'm inspired by the music that springs from New Orleans. With that I mean the soul, rhythm and blues of the 1960's, Allen Toussaint and Betty Harris. I'm really inspired by Betty Harris. There's something very funky with the music in New Orleans that you simply cannot find anywhere else. When I play with musicians from other places, I miss it."
"But that's fine," she concludes. "I've worked hard and long to get to where 1 am now, and I am living my dream. I remember way back when I was in a choir on Gotland, we sang this song with text from Ecclesiastes, where it says there's a time for everything, and I've always remembered that, because I think that's so true. There's...

One of Telge Glima's activities is performing. Dressed up like peasants 150 years ago, you can catch them present games like "Badger the Bear", "Hitting the Jug" or "Master of the Circle" at open-air museums like Stockholm's Skansen or Old Linköping. Or perhaps you'll come across them on some mediaeval festival, performing even older games, like backwards leaps, tug-of-war, or glima.
Next year we'll be celebrating and we're planning on going to the U.S. A few of us were in Texas in 2003 at a Viking festival, but this time we're all coming. We're looking into festivals and the likes where we could fit in. There are some ideas about where to go and what to do, but mainly we're open to any ideas. We'll perform as long as someone can provide us with a place to sleep, something to eat and a...

Carin Rodebjer has been considered one of Sweden's most interesting and sophisticated designers for years, with a dark but romantic style hinting of the 1920s and 1930s. Finally, in August 2005, she won Golden Button Award, the country's most prestigious fashion prize which is presented by Damernas Värld magazine. The award has previously gone to Jonny Johansson for Acne, Sofia Gromark Norinder for Tiger, to rock `n' roll designer Yylva Liljefors and H&M head designer Margareta van den Bosch.

The latest music trend in Scandinavia is soul-inspired electronica and rock. Just like Kraftwerk once adopted James Brown's beat, there's a soul sensation on the latest album of Danish band Tiger Tunes (V2) and Swedish group CDOASS (Playground Music); both combine machines with humor, bringing Devo to mind. Moneybrother, actually just one person, Anders Wendin, plays adult rock with 70s soul feeling and rock with dance rhythms, best sounding like Thin Lizzy. Two years ago, Moneybrother walked straight into the Swedish people's heart with the gold-selling debut album "Blood Panic." This spring, he released his second album "To Die Alone," along with performances in the USA. This year's comeback star is 26-year-old Robyn, who, in 1997, made it to the American top ten with "Do You Know (Wh...
