Lasse Berghagen wants Per at Skansen

STOCKHOLM - 
Ricky Martin accepted his invitation last summer, making a special trip to Sweden just to do so. Marie Fredriksson was there too. This year, Lasse Berghagen, host of the popular show “Allsång på Skansen,” has let it be known that he wants to see two stars in particular on his open-air stage: Per Gessle and Rod Stewart.
“I’d like to see Per Gessle singing “Gå & Fiska!” with the audience”, Lasse said.
A lot of well-known Swedish artists have appeared on this show that is televised from Skansen, a combination ecopark and entertainment area that isn’t far from the Gessle family’s apartment on Strandvägen.
We’ll have to wait and see if Per decides to accept. He has declined to appear on some other shows like this. For example, he has never appeared on “Så ska det låta” (even though we’ve been told his mother really wants him to).

You, who wrote that foreigners do not know what “Allsång på Skanssen” or “Så ska det låta” are, were not too polite. Of course we don’t necessarily know all such shows (or happenings) in Sweden, however, some of us (like me) are familiar with Swedish tv shows and stuff like that. Here in Finland we see two Swedish channels (and with cabel, you are able to get more) and SVT 1 (or TV 4 Nordic) is available in other European countries as well. For instance, when I lived in Germany, I was able to watch SVT 1 with the satellite. Sooooo.... we too get to wish that Per appears in Allsång på Skanssen, allthough I am not so sure, I’ll watch that, since we have our own show, quite like that and I’m not watching it either... Still, if Per was to appear and I remembered it... I certainly would watch it!
