My first series with my first SLR were grainy, analogue black and white photos taken from bands in a small club close to where I grew up. In recent years my photography has mostly shifted to travel destinations, but I hope you enjoy this selection of musicians, singers and performers.
I have updated this album on 24 March 2025 with a Spanish edition. It is followed by existing material of Swedish music groups only: 7 and Counting, Ad Astra, Big Swing Face, Blackbirds Vocal, Kamden Groove, Klub Coocoo (various young bands), Lighthouse Music, Naomi Runa & Märkligheten, SKAnsen, Them Legs, Tortyrträden, Veronica Maggio, Wheeping Willows, Yakumbé.
Unknown bagpipe band (Spain)
Photographed in Madrid, 15 March 2025
I stumbled upon this bagpipe band in a side street of the Gran Via avenue of Madrid, on the day that the capital city would have its third Great St. Patrick's Day Parade. About an hour and a half before about 600 musicians would get going, this Spanish band was making the whole side street sound very Irish.
