August 15 to 18, we played at Kilkenny Arts Festival in Ireland, This is How we Fly had the great honor to play with amongst others, the legends Martin Hayes and Bill Frisell.

On July 29, we made the year’s only gig in Sweden with This is How we Fly on Stöde Music Week. After the concert we celebrated Seán Mac Erlaines birthday with waterskiing. Many thanks to www.sweden4u.nu for this beautiful expreience!
The following day we traveled down to France and played a concert at De Bouche à Oreille in the town Parthenay.

July 5 to 14, I received the honor of being the Artistic Leader of Ethno Norway together with Johanna Juhola and Erik Rydvall. I’m very happy for this. It was my first ethno camp, I hope for many to come.

This weekend we had the last performance of Beautiful Beast with Norrdans & Gjallarhorn in Warsaw, Poland. There has been an absolutely fantastic time but also a bit sad that we will not see this fabulous choreography again.

This year, I start recording also projects other than my own in my studio.
Last week I recorded Anna Lindblad’s upcoming album.
Bookings are starting to pour in now. Six productions are already booked.

120513 in Falun, we played the last performance on the spring tour with Beautiful Beast with Norrnans and Gjallarhorn. Now we do not meet until the autumn when we perform in Stockholm, Barcelona and possibly Manchester. Really looking forward to playing the show. So incredibly inspiring!
