Just wondering, do you have a connection to this singer or the person who filmed this? It has only been up on youtube for a few days. How did you find it? Do you shop at this place and watched the performance?
I hope I'm not asking too many questions.
Hi,
No problem, always glad for your comments.
There was this really funny TV-documentary yesterday about Ullared and the people who go there again and again, it is a fact; they shop 'til they drop, ha ha.
But unfortunately there was no way that I could embed that video from channel 5, so when looking for YouTube clips this favourite singer of mine, Jill Johnson all of a sudden turned up - singing at Ullared Gekås. So, it was just a coincidence :)
i like your music, very charming.
