Country & Eastern Nights was the header for various concerts we arranged in the beginning of this millenium. Here are some examples
For a few years the Berger Knutsson Spering trio worked hard to get a weekly club going on Monday nights. We wanted to play every week having different guest soloists each time making the place a hangout for musicians and music listeners. We were persistent and had wonderful evenings with very great guests but we never managed to build a solid audience base. We did 23 Mondays at Club Mondo from September till February and then many more from April to December at Bacci. Later on we tried El Mundo, the Ethnographic Museum and a couple of other places. Our list of guests musicians and DJ’s is quite impressive, don’t you think, this is the Mondo programme. A few times we had a tape running so you can have a taste :
