| Per Ole Hagen |
|
The best term to describe Per Ole Hagen would probably be a “Jack of all trades”. He is an educated musicologist, teacher, university lecturer, music and computer journalist concert organiser, band manager and music photographer. Also being a musician himself before, there probably are very few jobs left in the music industry that Per hasn’t done before. Read more...

| Opal |
 Opal is a London-based four-piece rock band.
They are: Steve Walker on guitar, Nick Williams on bass, Steph Naylor on vocals, keyboards and guitar and Michael Soussan on drums.
All four were signed artists at one time, touring and producing records under major labels. But they were unhappy with the corporate world, so they formed their own, unsigned band nearly two years ago. Opal has an edge unlike many bands—they are not striving for stardom. Instead, they focus on their music. “Success tends to make people forget why they started playing. They get dragged into the corporate world, which doesn’t mix—they forget about the music,” said Walker.

| Schaefer |
|
We’ve been playing together since 2001/2002, starting off with various underground projects and some of them evolved into Schaefer. We used to be a more electronic project with samples and program tracks, then we decided it wasn’t fun. We wanted to jump around and play live so we found a bass player a year later. We still had this pile of equipment that we couldn’t get rid of but now finally we’re a rock and roll band trying to play completely without the samples and sequences. Read more...
