It swung a lot when Benny Andersson Band, with its own dance floor and a 16-piece band, played in \u00d6rnskoldsvik yesterday.  – It’s incredibly fun and enjoyable to be in \u00d6rnsk\u00f6ldsvik. We have played for ten years with this band and never been north of Leksand before, says Benny Andersson.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00d6RNSK\u00d6LDSVIK  When Benny Andersson Band, BAB, begins its Sweden tour in Ornskoldsvik, it\u00b4s not just a concert. There is dancing and festival. Benny Andersson begins the evening in a purple jacket, but it comes off quite quickly.<\/p>\n

The lawn in front of People’s Park scene is filled with chairs and the audience is large: more than 4000 people have come here. When the Swedish music elite enters the stage, it holds a great musical knowledge, but also many instruments. From accordion and violin to flute, trumpet and bass.<\/p>\n

There is no doubt about the enthusiasm – and the dancing audience quickly fills the dance floor. That it should lean a little, as Benny Andersson says at the beginning of the concert, doesn\u00b4t seem to be a problem. Waltz, schottische and polkas mixes with catchy songs with Helen Sj\u00f6holm and Tommy K\u00f6rberg at the microphones.<\/p>\n

We are offered classic BAO music like “Nu m\u00e5r jag mycket b\u00e4ttre” that gets thunderous applause. But the audience also gets to listen to songs from the new album “O Klang and Jubeltid”, including “K\u00e4ra Syster”, “Allting syns n\u00e4r man \u00e4r naken” and Jussi Bj\u00f6rling’s “M\u00e5nstr\u00e5lar klara”.<\/p>\n

The concert is indeed an interplay between band and audience. The audience gets both concert and dance, just as BAO promised. Sometimes something calmer is played, as when multi-skilled Kalle Moraeus sings “Beatrice” – and then persistent dancers have the opportunity to recharge their batteries.<\/p>\n

After four hours and countless encores the tour premiere is over. It\u00b4s a happy Benny Andersson who steps off the stage.
\n– It was great fun. It was a little extra at the end. Playing for four hours, it’s a hard shift, he says to Allehanda Media.<\/p>\n

Also Fredric Wedin from Event Company Executive Agency, which was organising the event, thinks it was a successful concert.
\n– It feels great. We have been lucky with the weather and everyone are happy, he says.<\/p>\n

Tonight’s the next stop awaits for 10 year anniversary celebrating Benny Andersson Band: J\u00e4rvs\u00f6.<\/p>\n
