One more clip from the video of the Band’s visit to J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping in 1990. I may share another one on here, but the plan is to make the whole video available via the Band’s website (for anyone who is interested) once I have processed it all.<\/p>\n

I mentioned in one of the comments on the Dag Wir\u00e9n post the other day that this particular evening had gone down in band folklore – forgive me if you already know this story – have a feeling I have written it somewhere else recently \ud83d\ude09 – but for others it is worth explaining.<\/p>\n
The tour began in S\u00f6dert\u00e4lje and we were up very early on the Sunday morning to travel to Norrk\u00f6ping in time for the Holiness Meeting there. After lunch we set off again to J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping where we were scheduled in the evening.<\/p>\n
The evening event consisted of a Salvation Meeting followed – at the request of the Corps – by not a ‘normal’ wind-up but a full Band festival. The tape recording is just over 3hrs long and does not include (obviously) the two intervals that we had – one before and one during the festival. Nor does it manage to squeeze in the end of the last march that the Band played.<\/p>\n
So – you will understand that this was a rather long evening for all concerned and we were all rather pleased when we arrived – very late – at our billets!!<\/p>\n
I have kept Geoff’s introduction in this video (but cut out the Swedish translation that followed) – think this is the first post of a “Band song” that I have shared.<\/p>\n
The whole of the evening’s recording has now been added in a separate post<\/a>.<\/p>\nMifanwy – Priceless Treasure – Words: Arthur Gullidge, Music: Joseph Parry<\/a><\/h5>\n
