Yes! This was a blast!
( Gunilla Ginström at the Vega station )
Right, short story.. Some days ago I was invited to the radio show called “Tonträffen” (The Note date?) at YLE Radio Vega as the guest of the week. Usually she, Gunilla, who hosts this particular show, invites musicians and talk about an upcoming album, a new show, something spectacular or just to chitty chatty..
This week she wanted to talk to someone who works with the artists but is still not the one in the blinding lights – and that’s me, I guess. We talked about the why’s, when’s and what’s I’ve been involved in and stuff like that, you know, kinda chitty, kinda chatty, big fun and a bunch of other topics – and it was a whole lotta fun. I hope the piece will find millions of listeners…
I was also asked to play 3 songs during my stay, well not play them – but put the CD in the CD-player, 3 songs that have had some sort of impact on me through the years.. And these had to be songs from the Finlandssvenska bänds! So, here are my 3 songs that I chose to play..
Sturm und Drang – Life
The Cajunga – Dancing with the Boys
Fredrik Furu feat. Pauline – Det går över
So, this was an extraordinary afternoon and I got to do the chitty for a good 30 minutes, I could have talked for months – but hey, well.. And yes, this was no live show, it will be broadcasted later, grab your local pen about now, on the 28th of September at 13.03PM on Radio Vega to be exact.
So, stay tuned has now officially found a new meaning, but just this once, you follow? No you don’t.
// Tage – Loves radio!
