On May 2nd, we played a very special concert at the bottom of a disused limestone mine, which is now used as a museum for the sculptor Anders Bundgaard and is inhabited by hundreds of bats. From the entrance of the mine it was about 100 meters to the place where we constructed the stage, and already at the first steps you could feel the damp and cold. The mine passages are reminiscent of a rustic cathedral, and the many reliefs and statues on display give the place a very special atmosphere.

With me I had my faithful technical team consisting of Mikkel Møller Larsen, who programs and controls the lights and lasers, and Jens Søbæk who is responsible for the sound system and live sound.

The band consisted of singers Tanja Hollerup and Julie Sommer. On either side of them were Jesper H. Petersen on bass and Nicolai Olsen on Chapman Stick and hurdy gurdy. On a raised podium behind them sat David A. Jeppesen behind his drum kit. This is the first time since 2019 that we have drums on stage, so it was a nice reunion with David. I stood next to the drums with my guitars

We played for a little over an hour, the environment in the limestone mine making it increasingly difficult for us to perform. It was 8 degrees Celsius and 90% humidity, which made fingers stiff, caused the instruments to condense and made the singers' voices rough.

The majority of the set consisted of songs we've played before, but there was also room for things we'd never performed before and a brand new song. And I sang the chorus without a vocoder - I've never done that before.

I didn't notice it during the concert itself - I guess I just thought it was the smoke machine - but when we packed up it became clear that a fog had formed in the mine. Maybe because of our hot lamps, but the fog hung around the whole time we carried our equipment out and when the mine was locked up after we'd left.
