To be honest, I wasn't really sure what this was about. LO is Norway's largest worker's organisation, and I was really curious how Ronni got mixed up with them. So I decided to go down there to find out...

Every Christmas and Easter Oslo is abandoned by people heading up to their cabins in the mountains, or their houses by the sea. Left are the homeless, the poor and the drug addicts. LO decided to give them an evening of food, music, warmth and love. And Ronni Le Tekrø and his band were the headline of a selection of four bands. It became a strange venue, but it was very real. Ronni played a 30-35 minute gig. The audience were sitting at tables, eating, talking and some sleeping. Bless them.

Here's some info about the venue in Norwegian:

Here are some pictures






Tomorrow it's guitar workshop at the Inferno festival, and solo gig in Drammen, this time with the full set. Expect a report later.

Thanks for sharing the story and the photos. It's always nice to read about your favorite artist contributing to an event that focuses a little attention, and hopefully, compassion, on those less fortunate in our society.

Nice story, Nice photos...
Takk
