I have now performed at “The Royal Edinburgh Military Tatoo Festival” 14 successful shows. I had the honour of singing with the Danish tenor Jakob Holtze on the BBC performances, which will be broadcasted on 30th of August. Jakob will be singing the rest of the shows from now, until I will join him on the last performance on the 28th of August.  

The biggest highlights of the show for me was to sing for and meet Abdullah || King of Jordan and Anne, Princess Royal 

On the 16th august I sang on BBC Radio Scotland and got good reviews from that. The piece I sang was “Core N’Grato” by S.Cardillo. That broadcast can be found on the BBC Iplayer under BBC festval café 16th of august at 13.15 but will only be avalible 2days from now

After my summer holiday in Iceland I will be performing in the Edinburgh Tattoo festival, beginning 6th of August. I am very honored to be singing at this exceptional event which will also be the largest show I have participated  in . The Tattoo attracts over 200.000 audience every year. In addition it is televised in 30 countries where 100 million people are assumed to watch this annual event worldwide . I will be singing two songs; “Here´s to the heroes” by John Barry, originally a soundtrack from the movie Dances with wolves, and “I vow to thee my country“, a patriotic song, music written by Gustav Holst and the poem by Cecil Spring-Rice..
