Benny Down at The Heath-BAO (Benny Andersson's Orkestra) playing the 1st English gig

Sweden on Stage, Hampstead Heath, London July 4 2009. In one of the first pics above it looks like Alexander Rybak's dad came over to join in the schlager fun!!
Also Below two amazing first clips LIVE- Helen Sjöholm singing 'Story of a Heart' from Benny's new english album wrote by Bjorn & Benny. The quality of the video is okay, but the sound is great! The other clip is of Abba's "Why did it have to be me?" with Benny's intro, then you can hear the fans chorus of song's 'Way Old Freinds do' & 'Thank you for the music' at the end- wow!
It certainly looks like one  wonderful svenska evening in hot London Town. It is in fact not the first time Benny has performed abroad, BAO did a concert in Glasgow  ( just like in Super Trouper's  lyrics "I was sick & tired of everything, When I called you last night from Glasgow" )  + the concerts in USA in 2007.
More BENNY Here on R4 Front Row great new interview-check it out its rather excellent

Many Thanks Teza & Videotheque (U-tube) & Mark for photo.
