A-ha! Morten and me chat about the good old days
Boy oh boy! What a week! It's a been a really doozy. So let's work backwards. Today I met one of my all time musical favourites - Morten Harket, the lead singer with legendary Norwegian band, A-ha. I have been a fan of the band since 1985 and always wanted to interview them. Well, last night I got 'the call'... and by 1pm today I'd crossed another 'Would Like To Meet...' off my list. In 1986, my older brother took me to see them in Cardiff. Earlier this year I took my younger brother to seem them in London - almost 20 years to the day. It's like a bonding thing I guess. Needless to say, they were awesome. I have to say that meeting Morten - who is lovely and, being totally comfortable in my heterosexuality, he is also a very good looking man. I can totally see why generations of women have been obsessed with him. He is very smart, very polite, very handsome and very interesting to talk to. It was an absolute pleasure. Anyway the picture on the left is me, with Morten. I think perhaps I have the biggest sh*t-eating grin ever committed to camera, but I have to admit that I was pretty impressed with myself... P.S. This is a terrible picture of me and the jumper makes me look fat so apologies..
Anyway, A-ha have also been confirmed as one of the acts at this years Guilfest in Guildford, England, so it should be a classic year for the event. It usually sells out so don't waste any time! even if you just go to see A-ha you won't be disappointed. Trust me... And if you haven't already got hold of their new album - Analogue - then you have to. It's excellent. I swear!
