Last night Jørgen and I visited the radio station Radio Riks Oslo in our capital. We talked about the new single "Mørketid", the upcoming album and our new festival "Underjordisk Festival" that will be held in our hometown Gjøvik the last weekend of October.

The 29th of October we are arranging a new masquerade festival in our home town Gjøvik, and as the event approaches there are a whole lot of things going on behind the scenes! Some wonderful and enthusiastic collaborators have joined the festival, and I´m really looking forward to the realization of the very first "Underjordisk Festival" inside the Olympic Cavern Hall of Gjøvik! www.underjordiskfestival.com

We had a great time recording for our upcoming album, and I really have a good feeling about how this is moving forward! Thank you guys for an inspiring weekend with much laughing and joy! Photo by Michael O. Enger

Here is a song from our live-broadcast at NRK P1 yesterday. This song is called "Når dagen hviler" ("When the day is resting") and will be released on my upcoming album in February.

One more great journey with Leaf is placed in my luggage of good memories. This time we played the opening show at the biggest medieval festival in Europe, Festival Mediaval in Selb, Germany.

This is a radio station specialised on Norwegian music and musicians from Norway, with listeners all over the world through the web, dab and their own app (Ordentlig Radio App). In the studio was also Asbjørn Ribe, a great musician that I have never heard before but I´m glad I did today.

Today there will be a celebration of my friend Benjamin Grants life, who sadly left this world way too early a month ago. In May I composed a melody for him and he told me he was excited to hear it. On the flight back to Norway, two days after we got the sad message, the lyrics and title came to me and fulfilled his song.

A good walk in the forest, through blueberry bushes and moorlands, by a little magical tarn on a floating stage of wood, we did another outdoor concert for Sykehuset Innlandet (the hospital in our region) by Klopptjønn in Reinsvoll two days ago. I´m honoured to have been part of an evening based on so much care and love, with beautiful scenery, fires, coffee made the "wild" way boiled inside the campfire, lovely traditional food and music. It makes me warm to see how an insti
