Sunnersta. A real great star visited Sunnersta People’s House this weekend. Helen Sj\u00f6holm, well known from among other things “Kristina fr\u00e5n Duvem\u00e5la” and “Chess”, entered the stage with her cousin Maria Lundberg and an extra big Holmsten Trio. The premises was crowded – not least on the road outside, where a hundred cars were tightly parked and it barely was possible to get through.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The contact that led to the unique concert was taken at the Skule Festival last year. There Mikael Holmsten met Helen, and told her about his idea of \u200b\u200borganizing a support gala in favor of the Blue Ribbon. That the proceeds would go to cancer research was the most important reason that Helen said yes, she explains.
\n– But there were many good reasons to pop up here, of course.
\n– The music, the audience, and not least to meet and sing with my cousin Maria, Helen continues.<\/p>\n

Helen grew up in Sundsvall and Maria is from Sollefte\u00e5, but the cousins \u200b\u200bspent many childhood summers with their grandmother in N\u00e4s\u00e5ker. Very much came to be about singing and music, and Helen outspokenly told the audience how much she looked up to her cousin who was so knowledgeable and urbane.
\n– Maria was always two years older and always did everything two years earlier, Helen says with a laugh.<\/p>\n

Maria could take three chords on the guitar, which laid the foundation for a wide range of songs that the cousins \u200b\u200blearned, and then performed with to their grandmother’s friends and acquaintances.
\n– It’s amazing how many songs you can take out from three chords, Helen says impressed.
\nIt was in N\u00e4s\u00e5ker the foundation was set for what was to become Helen’s musical career, which she constantly returns to with great gratitude.<\/p>\n

Helen Sj\u00f6holm is today a well known name who has appeared on big stages around the country and around the world, both on the musical stage and with, among others, Benny Andersson Band. But despite the big venues, it’s her longing to her childhood’s N\u00e4s\u00e5ker that recurs again and again during the evening in Sunnersta.
\n– I hope by God that we one day will play at the venue in N\u00e4s\u00e5ker, and I’ve really lobbied for that, Helen says and gets resounding applause. That the audience appreciate Helen cannot be mistaken. It’s an almost devout atmosphere in the hall, and during the break discussions can be heard from all sides about what an amazing voice and what charisma she has.<\/p>\n

One of the most satisfied in the audience is Hervor Sj\u00f6din from Sollefte\u00e5 who listens to Helen Sj\u00f6holm for the fourth time this week.
\n– She does a lunch show in Uppsala with my son Jacke Sj\u00f6din, and I’ve been there this week, Hervor tells us, and a little apologetically assures that she usually doesn’t attend this many concerts during the same week.<\/p>\n
