Two brilliant concerts with Amanda this weekend!

August 2, 2010, 5:11 pm

On Friday, Amanda appeared at “Putte i Parken” in Karlskoga. With her energy on stage, she really got the audience going and did a brilliant concert. Just as cool as usual, she was wearing a patterned black dress and a 20's inspired hairstyle. She mixed slow and fast songs and put her whole heart into every song. Inksize.se gave her performance the rating five out of five possible and “Karlskoga Tidningen” wrote that it was a perfect night! Read full reviews here and here, it's in Swedish.

She then continued on Saturday to Halmstad to appear at “Marinfestivalen”. Many came to see her gangster-like cabaret and she gave an eventful night as she both jumped on the piano and divided the audience into teams to have some fun singing exercises. “Hallandsposten” wrote in their review "while she feels distant and cool, she seems to know exactly how she should perform the songs in the best way" and they also wrote that the whole concert felt very professional.

Amanda at Peace & Love

July 5, 2010, 4:49 pm

On Saturday, Amanda appeared on the festival Peace & Love in Borläge. It was crowded when she performed her jazzy number on the Eldorado scene. She said that it was probably the largest audience she had stood in front of. The audience sang, danced and clapped to the beat of Amanda's beautiful voice on the hottest day this summer, so far. A very nice gig. Check out some nice pictures on Rockfoto and Musicstage.
