Don&#8217;t miss this!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr\u00f6mfesten 2019 is this week  in Sandviken and on Friday 23 August, at <strong>6.30 pm<\/strong>, the first band on stage is A Padded Room. This is very special for us as it\u2019s the first time ever we\u2019ll be playing live under that name, despite having made four albums since 1993. A Padded Room has always been a studio project, but when Dr\u00f6mfesten general Per Alm\u00e9n asked if we were interested in playing live, the answer was &#8220;absolutely yes!&#8221; All we needed was for someone to ask. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll be playing the whole album which we released almost exactly a year ago and this will be the first time that any of these songs are played live on stage. Herbie, Bj\u00f6rn and I will also have support onstage from Bertil F\u00e4lt on piano\/organ and Niclas Carron on guitar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s Dr\u00f6mfesten looks like being a lot of fun and apparently ticket sales are going well. Friday evening starts with A Padded Room and continues with good-guy Chris Kl\u00e4fford, Among Lynx and Louisiana Avenue. Saturday includes Kingsgarden, Anton Swedlunds Indianer, Lasse Lindbom and also Thomas Di Leva and I\u2019ll definitely be there for that. No doubt it\u2019ll be packed both evenings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/www.philipjetheridge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Easybeats.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philipjetheridge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Easybeats.jpg 225w, https:\/\/philipjetheridge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Easybeats-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/philipjetheridge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Easybeats-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Friday on my mind <\/em>is a song by Australian band the Easybeats, led by producers\/songwriters Harry Vanda and George Young. When the Easybeats finally gave up, Vanda and Young started Flash and the Pan, and they had a lot of success with that, at least in Sweden. George Young\u2019s brothers, Angus and Malcolm, had started another band a few years earlier: AC\/DC, which was also\u2026 quite successful. <em>Friday on my mind <\/em>was one of a few singles I bought in late 1966. The others were the Beatles\u2019 <em>Penny Lane\/Strawberry Fields Foreve<\/em>r and the Beach Boys <em>Good Vibrations<\/em>. The two best singles ever? Well, I think so anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-spotify wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: A Padded Room\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/artist\/4OlnXI8uSAdfQTVbeYzYwg?si=51xd-tVxRrO_jqMCp9a_9g&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr\u00f6mfesten 2019 is this week<br \/>\nin Sandviken and on Friday 23 August, 6.30 pm, the first band on stage is A Padded Room.
