Known from TV

Here’s the link to Swedish TV4:s nyhetsmorgon where I played with Patrick El-Hag.

It was very nice playing there, interesting to see how the studio looks like and how everything is done. The breakfast buffet that I had heard so much about really stood up to the expectations, and the reception from the personnel from the moment you stepped in through the door was very professional. Hard not to like it when everything works and is the way you want it to be!

The early morning was pretty heavy though, I managed to sleep for two hours before the taxi arrived at 03.30. After the broadcast I jumped straight into the next taxi to get to a three hour rehearsal with Jerry the Cupboard at 08.45, which I missed with two minutes. It was hard keeping the concentration up during the whole rehearsal considering my absent of beauty-sleep. Also a bit unusual that when the rehearsal started around 9, I had already been up for around six hours. When did that happen at a morning rehearsal before? Answer: Never.

Straight after the rehearsal I went home, had a sushi, put on the TV, and fell asleep in the couch before I even had chosen a channel.

Playing on Nyhetsmorgon

Tomorrow I’m playing with Patrick El-Hag on Swedish TV4:s nyhetsmorgon (the morning news) on one of two songs. To all swedes: Set the alarm and skip the Christmas calendar, tomorrow the action is on another channel!

I really don’t look forward to the taxi pick up right after 3 in the morning, but people have done this before, so I guess I will survive that too! Straight after the broadcast I have a rehearsal with Jerry the Cupboard for the gig at Hotel Hellsten on Thursday, that might be heavier. I guess I can catch up on the sleep next night!
