## **A healthy oasis in the harbour**

On Donsö, we are located in the island's old fire station, a charming building in the middle of the harbor. Het outdoor dining consists of smaller courtyards with a cozy atmosphere, always in the lee. 

Popsicle Place

Lina Melander & Madelene Birgenius, the duo that plays songs that swing and touch whether it's pop, soul or country!

With vocal vocals and piano, they interpret songs by artists such as Neil Young and Nina Simone but also pluck gold grains from the Motown era.

With a lot of fun and presence, Log Lady has made an obvious name for herself at Gothenburg's Livescener.

The Log Lady

**The indie proggband from eastern Gothenburg that intersperses pop vocal vocals with old folk rock, show and jazz. **

**What are the Record Years? **

The Record Years is a grassroots movement that, without a record label or booking company behind it, has successfully managed to spread its gospel through the jungle drum. Listening to Rekordåren is about letting yourself travel across genres, between influences from Swedish show, blues, progg and jazz. Sometimes the music brings to mind Mando Diao or The Great Rest, in other moments JJ lies. Cale or the country aesthetic closer to your fingertips. A common thread is found in the Swedish lyrics, which are interspersed with instrumental playfulness and improvisation.

**RECORD YEAR TOUR 2025**

The facts of spring bear witness to new milestones. The Kåltorpsband has released a number of

appreciated singles, arranged a packed full evening at home festival Musikens Hus in Gothenburg and been named in GAFFA as “one of the most interesting bands on the Swedish indie scene right now”. But there is still the big highlight of the year - the summer tour. The tour bus arrives loaded with five happy musicians, old and new songs and a large portion of jam hunger. Well met in the summer evening - in the pub, in the city - at the port or cold baths.
