Lars Cleveman live at Guldtuban in 2008

Lars Cleveman Guldtuban 2008

Here is a video of Lars Cleveman performing some of his songs at a café in Årsta on 13 February 2008. Guitarist Håkan Soold also joined him on stage.

When Bob Hund guitarist Conny Nimmersjö released his first solo album, he and Lars Cleveman each performed at Guldtuban, a now-defunct café in Stockholm’s Årsta district.

At the time, Lars Cleveman was recording his own album, “Voices in My Head”. Håkan Soold, guitarist from The Plastic Pals, was deeply involved in the production and participated in the last three songs of Lars Cleveman’s 25-minute set.

I had borrowed a video camera at the time and took the opportunity to test it out. Today, I found the old recording and, with Lars Cleveman’s kind permission, posted it on YouTube:

The clip is a bit shaky at first, but settles down once I’ve sat down on the chair next to the piano. I think it’s perfectly acceptable as a record of the event. In any case, Lars and Håkan’s performance is excellent.
