Liv Andrea Hauge Trio: Ville Blomster

by Ian Patterson
Some musicians toil for years to deliver a debut album, perhaps because composing does not come easily. A lack of confidence, or simply the financial burden of recording can also be inhibitors.

“...and finally evening comes. We usually meet in the dressing room. Magnus’ drumsticks are pattering against his legs.

Then we go on stage, meet the audience, the music. ...
