And, weird music fact I learnt the other day: Sweden produces more pop music than any other nation on earth.
They write, produce, and record more stuff, for others, and for their own, than anyone...
I go to pubs occasionally but I don't drink so I usually just go to shows and concerts. I used to go to the pubs more when I was younger. I just came back from the annual Jazz and Blues festival in Kiama. Sun, sand and music everywhere. In the park, the street, the pub, the club, cafes, restaurants, churches ... It was great.
