Now you can listen to the first part of my solo concert from Korrö Folkmusikfestival from this summer, more parts will follow. I have the honor to share the program with the gentlemen Hazelius Hedin, all in P2 Live, listen here.

Now is the summer past. There have been many pleasant moments for Ahlberg, Ek & Roswall with concerts in several of the biggest festivals and meetings in Sweden.
I have also had the pleasure to play with Ulrika Bodén a few times because of that I and AER are guests on her new album. The album is called Te berga blå and includes herding tunes and songs from the forests of the North.
Besides that, I have done some performances with the St. Olav’s show and some other odds and ends.
Now comes a fall full of exciting new projects and gigs!

Ahlberg, Ek & Roswall won! After being nominated three years in a row we won the prize for “Group of the Year” at the Folk- & Världsmusikgalan in Västerås.
In the joy and happiness, we didn’t manage to express our full thankfulness in the speach, what we wanted to say was:
It is a great honor and pleasure for us to receive such a nice price. We would like to thank the jury, all of which we are privileged to work with, family, relatives and friends, and most importantly, all of you who come to our concerts and listen to our records. Thousand thanks!
