As often as possible. Music belongs to the people...

I have played in many pop/ rock/ r&b/ soul/ jazz ( and even dance) bands during the last 25 years. Some of the more well-known bands I have played in are BC&W ( nowadays Jukepoika) ( guitars), T-Bag ( keyboards and later bass), Petra Sundvik Band ( guitars) and Monkey Business ( guitars). In addition to 25 years of experience from "the hard school of the road" playing lots of gigs with a lot of different musicians I also have aquired many, many hours of studio experience - as a player, as a producer or engineer or just as a "hang-around"...
