Marie Fredriksson performed with Pugh in Stockholm yesterday

Written by Jud on August 26, 2006 to Marie Fredriksson.

STOCKHOLM - Swedish artist Pugh Rogefeldt gave a concert in Tantogården in Stockholm yesterday night and counted with a special guest: Marie Fredriksson, who joined him on stage to sing “Här kommer natten” and “Guldgruva” during the encore. Marie was announced as Sweden’s own Aretha Franklin and the audience welcomed her with standing ovations.

Pugh is one of Marie’s favourite artists and she covered three of his songs in her latest album “Min bäste vän,” including the two she performed with him yesterday.

Hey, that’s just great!! :)

On a sidenote, though...: I’ve always wondered why you guys put the surnames of Per and Marie in the headlines. You know Marie FREDRIKSSON did this and that and Per GESSLE confirms this and that. Just like a regular (or an non-regular) TDR-reader wouldn’t know which Marie or Per you are talking about. ;)

Even now, it reads Marie _Fredriksson_ performed with Pugh in Stockholm yesterday. Pugh who? Wouldn’t it have been more relevant excluding Fredriksson and including Rogefeldt there? I know I’m such a whiner but this has just crossed my mind a few times over the past couple of months.

I think it´s a bit hard to get some pictures from this gig. I mean: Who is Pugh? Not such a ” big ” artist. Nobody (only SVD) reported about this performance. So it´s nothing special for the press to report about this gig.

Sad I know!

@animalkingdom: I wondered the same, but then thought of one (maybe) good reason - when you use the google news search engine, you actually get hits from TDR just as if it were the New York Times or Aftonbladet... that’s sort of cool! Of course, searching “Marie Fredriksson” will bring you that but searching “Marie” will get you all sorts of other things (-:

You go Marie!!!!
Nice!! Sweden´s Aretha Franklin!!!
Well, if she can do that, she can make a little appearence with Per...

How very fun!! And how NOT very fun that you weren’t there..

GREAT news, though!

It’s just fantastic! Have anybody of The Daily Roxette readers been to this gig? It would be cool to see some pictures...

I wish I were in Sweden now...
