Tack Norge!

Takk Norge - thank you Norway!
We had a good trip to Oslo yesterday, though very long. For us living in Stockholm it took about 7 hours each way, for the ppl in Örebro a few hours less and for Johannes driving alone from Jönköping you have to add another hour to the 7 hours from Stockholm... But it was worth it, although we're pretty nacked today after a long night in the cars...!
It was great fun to do our thing and also see what the other choirs/artists (safari, isaac carree, oslo soul teens) did and we were really impressed by them all! We also got to sing a song together with Swedish gospel legend Per-Erik Hallin which we all really enjoyed! But most of all, it felt like a truly blessed night, which we are so happy to have been a part of.


Joakim and Ragnhild Hiis-Ånestad, leader of Oslo soul children/teens.



Some of the Praise Unit singers weren't able to come along due to other assignments, but we were fortunate to bring some other friends to join us on stage... Emma was one of them.



Magdalena was another one who we brought along!


Hanging out backstage.

Simon, yet another friend who contributed on the Oslo show (But this one behind the drums!), and Jacob in the backseat of the car.

Time to go to Oslo

In a few hours we´re leaving for Oslo, Norway. We´re playing at a big concert with some other artists/groups, Safari, Oslo Soul Teens, Per-Erik Hallin and Isaac Carree (Kirk Franklins backup singer). It´s gonna be great hearing all of them.

We´re all looking forward to it....it´s been a while since we played together....
