<p>So some of you may have seen the name "Christopher Börjars" on the back of our CD's. But who is he? Well, not only is he our producer, recording technician, and close friend, he is also the best musician I have ever met, who writes the most heart-wrenchingly beautiful lyrics, and the catchiest melodies.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In 1999, his band Sound Express won the Swedish dansband championships. His band Hôss&nbsp;has taken on the gigantic task of copying the musical output of Kiss, in detail, in chronological order, and "in the…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/6102850/who-is-christopher-borjars">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>On Sunday 17 August me and John set out from Berga in Sälen to walk the Vasaloppsleden to Mora. Vasaloppsleden is the hiking path where the Vasaloppet ski race also takes place in March every year, as well as the Cykelvasan mountain bike race in the summer. I'd been wanting to do this walk for a few years, and finally we managed to get it organised. Before we headed off I tried to find as much information about the walk as possible on the Internet, but I didn't find very much of use, so I thought I'd make…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/6102848/john-and-sofie-walk-the-vasaloppsleden-almost">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I have made a wee film in the form of an open tuned guitar tutorial to accompany a video of one of our compositions called "Through the Pines" which we hope you might find some inspiration in, or simply enjoy! The film has some chords and features guitar "tapping", or right hand fretting, and I hope to be able to feature the whole piece if this is something that you would like? As always your feedback is very welcome and any questions or points that you may have are of great value to us.

<p>Greetings from Edinburgh!</p>


<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;We have just arrived in Edinburgh and are preparing for our gigs in Glasgow this weekend - very exciting!</p>


<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The day before we headed off to Scotland I did a phone interview for a local newspaper, and as I was trying to explain what type of music we play (which is always tricky, I think), I got the question "so it's basically folk music you play?" I ended up replying yes to that question, because after all, is it possible to play acoustic music without there being an…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/6102846/fiddle-and-guitar-videos-to-inspire">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>It's not often nowadays that I get to go and see a concert, but on Tuesday night we drove 3,5 hours south-west to Oslo to go and see the Dixie Chicks. Well, John chose to go for some tunes in the Irish session at The Dubliner, but I headed for the Spektrum and the Dixie Chicks girls. Their album "Fly" was one of the first albums that really got me hooked on American music in the early 2000's, and I've listened to it A LOT. It's sold over 8 million copies in the US only, and Martie Maguire's top notch…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/6102843/duelling-fiddle-and-guitar-with-the-dixie-chicks-in-oslo">Read more</a></span></div>
