Back through Brussels to the UK for family time with my daughter. I'll come back to Oslo for the final show with Victor Borge at Raufoss, closs to Gjøvik on December 28. Then we'll kiss this year goodbye and get on with the solo album.

Victor Borge announces his departure from TNT to follow his career with his partner Bente Smaavik and carry on as a sponsored bass player for Yamaha. I've had happier days. I'll miss him a lot. 
The new Hagstrom Viking Delux semi hollow body guitar turns up. It's a beauty. Should give some different angles on sound when I knuckle down in the new year. Tommy Denander starts work on the guitar parts for, 'Jente i Norge' (Girls in Norway). A single I've written specifically for a video production and Norwegian release.

TNT support Pretty Maids in Varberg, Sweden, with Million. A great show to around 500 people. But the smoke on stage was overwhelming, even after I briefed the guy, he couldn't keep his hand off the extra fog button. I don't know how I got through the show. It was a spiritual journey home on the train to Oslo with Victor.

TNT play Liljan Retaurant in Borlange, Sweden. To about 80 people. I suppose this was more of a filler gig than anything else, it was also one of the fastest sets we've ever played. Almost as fast as the train in and out.

It was a great experience to be involved with NRK's, 'Beat For Beat' production this year. No less to be chosen as one of the highlighted artists of the season. A cool yule !!

'One of Tony's performances was chosen by NRK as a highlight for this season of 'Beat For Beat'. If you follow this link you'll find it at 10:50. It's well worth watching the whole show; it's packed with great artists. 
Det var moro å få se Tony igjen på 'Beat for Beat', NRK sist fredag. Følger du denne linken så finner du ham på 10:50 ut i showet. Det er verdt å se hele, mange bra artister på ett brett !'

Tommy Denander introduces Bruce Gaitsch, acoustic guitarist extraordinaire from LA to play on, 'Red Berries', the big solo ballad I intend to close the new album with.
