NOTP Countdown: Be our REPORTER!

by

Night of the Proms logo

Dear RoxetteBlog.com Readers,

We would like to ask all of you, who will attend Night of the Proms concerts, to write your own reports from each and every gig that you will see. It does not have to be the perfect English – it just should convey your emotions, thoughts, your impressions and some interesting things you will see while your concert(s). Your own pictures and clips will be highly appreciated!

So, if you (or friends of yours) are interested in submitting such stories, so let us now at office@roxetteblog.com or on our Twitter.

Each story will be posted on our blog.

You can be such a good reporter – and get your big editorial dream fullfilled on RoxetteBlog.com 🙂

Thanks!

Judith, Kirsten, Sascha, Jirí, Tomasz
RoxetteBlog.com Team

NOTP Countdown: Insidenotp.blogg.org

Sarahdenrara at R2R forum informs us, that there is also a blog in French/Dutch from one of the singers of the choir called Maurice (it is his nickname): http://insidenotp.blogg.org/

He writes today that he thinks Per is really into it and happy to be there, Marie too even if she seems a bit fragile. He adds that you have to keep in mind that artists never give a 100% during rehearsals.

Meeting with Per Gessle, October 2009.

by

Chrissie, also know as nordish-by-nature at R2R forum, shared with us a brand new picture of Per Gessle. The photography was taken in Halmstad in front of the second “Tits & Ass” [the third and new one is coming!] studio on October 13. Accroding to nordish, he was very nice again and told them something about a BIG poster which he got from some Bulgarian fans.

Per Gessle - October 2009.

UDPATE on October 21: Here is Chrissie’s story:

Yes, me and my friend have been on vacation in Tylösand last week. We just wanted to enjoy a week of relaxation with sauna and swimming and shopping. 😉 We didn’t expect that Per would appear in Halmstad at all. But Twitter-addicted as we were, we checked our accounts daily after breakfast and so we read his message last Tuesday that he is in town and recording some demos.

Edit: Project_Z provides a translation of the Roxette part.

Marie is really happy to be here. It’s possible more satisfying for her than for us. It’s a salvation for her to be finally here, … it brings back many memories and emotions…
It’s a party… fantastic popsongs from the swedish ’school’… ABBA is the biggest icon and Roxette is a close second with many worldwide hits, songs which are very translatable for orchestra…

Helena Josefsson on her new song “Fen & Jag”:

While waiting for my second solo album to get released, I have made this song together with Martinique and Per from my band Sandy Mouche, just for the fun of it. I wrote it and they produced it for me. It is about how I met a fairy one day who said she could give me a new life, to live my life all over again, so I could erase my mistakes and get released from the sadness I have gone through. But my answer to her is, that I now understand that all the tears and the laughter would lead me to where I am today, and I don´t want to change a thing. It was all worth it. Now that I have managed to get a child and my own, new family. When the vocals were recorded, my baby boy was sitting on the floor playing. You can actually hear him in the song, too! At 1.17!

On her website:

Unfortunately my homepage is dead at the moment, but just wait a couple of days and it will be back!
