Fans, friends, fairies and fools!
Halfway through the year of 2008, and a good time to look back and reflect upon the past six months. It's been a reasonably eventful year so far, including my first UK tour, a couple of German dates and of course a few gigs on Swedish home turf as well. Despite being an unsigned artist, managing myself, I have nevertheless gained exposure through several blogs and podcast shows, and lately enjoyed radio airplay in various European countries as well as the US and New Zealand.
The UK solo tour in particular was a good move. Most of the venues really nice ones with a good audience, and obviously rewarding to perform in front of a crowd in their own language. I've made some valuable contacts and good friends and I'm eager to get back whenever possible.
A swift look ahead. Only a few gigs booked for the summer, but I'll write and record some new material, and hopefully get an album out at some point. I'll keep you updated. Now take care of yourself and your loved ones, and have a wonderful summer!
