In 1970 the city of Bergen, Norway (my home town) celebrated in 900 years anniversary. I played in a big band called "Ad Astra" on TV. You can find me, playing a Gibson ES-175 DN, on the right hand side of the saxophone section.

Tonnie is playing through a redesigned "copy" of a Gibson EH-185 (made with self-raising flower?), hence the somewhat twangy sound.

I have (again) participated in the North Wales International Jazz Guitar Weekend, in Wrexham, Wales, 8-10 April 2022.

This year’ teachers were Sam Dunn, Trefor Owen, Nigel Price and John Weathcroft.

I also played at the Cheadle Jazz Guitar Club meeting, Thursday April 7th, at the Bijou, 9, Massie Street, Cheadle Village and on Tuesday 5 th at The White Swan in Huddersfield.

I was lucky that fellow students Chris Rushbrook, filmed my performances, and Aaron Latty took some very nice pictures.

The videos are found at:

Compositions

One of my compositions (Tonnie's Tune) can be heard on YouTube, played by Yvan Jaques on both guitar and keyboard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhJkYmJ-tJc

He has recently played a second reharmonized version:
