As so many times before (at least 15 times with a camera), it was a great pleasure to experience yet another fine Kashmir concert. Last night the Danish band played on Plænen in Tivoli as a part of the weekly Fredagsrock. A very nice setlist with new, old, older and unreleased songs - and a fabulous summer evening. Looking forward to Kashmir's Roskilde Festival concert next week.

Singer Tony Hadley and the rest of Spandau Ballet played in Tivoli last night as a part of the weekly Fredagsrock on Plænen. Although the band haven't had many hits since the early 80's, quite of lot of audience turned up, and it seems like the brits in the band managed to deliver a fine party on this rainy Friday evening in Copenhagen.

Much have been written in the Danish press about Whitney Houston's two concerts in Forum, Copenhagen. I will not comment much more on this, but will leave it to the professional critics. But what can be added, is that it was unfortunately not the charming babe I remember so well from the Bodyguard movie.. which actually came out in 1992. Happy I experienced Whitney.

The always impressive pianist, singer and entertainer Jamie Cullum returned to Tivoli last night. Yet again, it seemed to be a great show, but due to Whitney's second concert over in Forum, I had to miss most of Jamie's show. Next time.

As always Rufus' shows are a bit interesting - this time no exception photo wise. Just a piano and Rufus - in a dark venue, 20m distance and a single track of approximately 3 minutes.

Friday evening yet another episode of the X Factor Live series took place in DR Byen. Anna Nygaard unfortunately had to leave to show (without doubt the most talented of all the contestants if you ask me). The category of the evening was Big Band and all contestants performed a cover of a James Bond theme, all of them quite impressive.

Thursday evening the Danish singer Maria Apetri aka Fallulah played a soldout concert in Lille Vega. An impressive concert with offered a great live band and a singer who managed to deliver a lot of different genres without loosing the pace.
