Hi, I am doin some gigs with my Band Talon (Eagles tribute show) on 19th to 23rd July around Norway. Kristiansand, Arendal, Vinstra and Gol. I will confirm the venues soon. If anyone wants to come and see us, please come and say hello.Is it true that the beer is really expensive over there? I heard around £4 a bottle!! I hope the gigs pay well.Would be great to meet you. Tracy Neale..

I haven't a clue about the Norwegian beer, but did you know the United Nations recently voted Norway as being the best nation in the world in which to live ? Honest!! # 2 is Australia, and # 3 is Canada. For the past successive 7 years, the U.N. had voted Canada as # 1 but this year Canada slipped two notches to #3. (The U.S. was voted #6 this year).

Thanks for the advice,Norway is obviously the best place in the world to live,if you dont drink that is.
How far down the list is England? after all, gasoline is only $6 a gallon..over here.

Hi Neal, As a Swede I know everything about Norway!!! At least I have been touring many times in that country and I have a lot of very good friends there too! As an answer on your question I just say, bring your own beer from the taxfree shop. The beer in Norway is very expensive (even if you buy it in a shop) and some times the taste is a little bit thin (but you are used to that, ha, ha,) Bring your food too if you don´t want to eat "karbonade" every day!

Thanks Janne.
I wondered why the Peavey Vegas had an open rear enclosure, I can store the duty free beer in it.As for the food, What is this Karbonade? Whats the weather like at the moment?

Hello Neale!
As a Norwegian I know quite a bit about Norway:
- The beer is expensive about 4$-5$ for a 0,5 L glass of beer. About 8$-10$ for a six pack of 0,33 L bottles in a shop.
- Karbonade is the same as a burger with just the meat. Eaten together with boiled potatoes etc....
- There are other things to eat here than Karbonade. (We have MCDonalds Ha ha)
- It's a great country to live in yes!

Unfortunaly I live in Oslo, so I can't come to any of your gigs, but give me a call when you are at Gardermoen airport! 93499400 OK?
