Well, it's been awhile since my last blog...sorry!
I caught the flu staight after the tour and still had tons of things to do...

Anyway, the tour went well and I'd like to thank Miri, John, Mattes, Ralf, Britta and Saxon for making it easy and smooth.The last show at Charly's was recorded and I thought it was a really good show so we'll probably release some of it in some form sooner or later.

On a very sad note I would like to send my condolenses to Rosi Papes family and friends.
Rosi was supposed to do the merch on this tour but on the same day we started she was taken to hospital and when we got home I got the sad news that she had passed away after a long fight with cancer. Rosi was a kind , funny and always smiling person who has helped BGB out in many ways. Rest in Peace Rosi! You will be missed!

We do have some good news too. BGB will be back in Germany in early february and then at the end of February we'll go to Dubai for the Dubai Jazz festival theme week! That'll be great!

I will also be part of the GTR Tour 2008 in Finland (march-april). This tour features 3 guitar players with a house band. This year it's Jartse Tuominen (also the organiser), Pepe Ahlqvist and me.

Things to do ;
All BGB and GTR dates will be up on the gig page asap.
The TV documentary will be aired on TV2 FST early january, I should get the exact date soon.
I have tons of pictures that I need to put up once I figure out how to do it :-)

We've got 5 gigs in Finland before we take a short break AND we have some T-shirts left. Tour shirts, Ringer shirts and Girlie shirts ONLY 15 euros!.
On the Rocks the 7th of december will once again feature Kasper Mårtenson on keyboards and possibly 1 or 2 guest singers.

Take care and all the best,

Ben
