SkåneFolk Youth Ensemble is a project in which, during the summer of 2010, twenty youngsters between 15 and 18 years of age from Skåne got the chance to work professionally as paid artists, by putting together a show based on traditional music and dance from the region. The project was a great success, and we are now working to make it an annual event, with a new show in 2011.

Everybody Gets Lonely Orchestra is a band that with the motto "Reclaim R & B!" plays instrumental dance music from the time when Soul and R & B was not mass produced electronical music, but super groovy live music with powereful horn sections and muscular Hammond organs. Think Booker T & the MGs, Sly & the Family Stone...

N.B!New studio demo with Grannar released in August 2010! Listen here!

I also do solo performances, which could be both for dancing and for listening. It could be a program with Swedish folk music, but could also include folk music from other parts of the world. I use several different instruments; saxophones, different flutes, harmonica, hurdy gurdy, didgeridoo etc.

Folk and world music workshops and  concerts for kindergartens, schools, high schools, universities, music schools etc.

Workshops and school concerts are an important part of the work of both myself and allmost all of the bands that I play with. This is a very short summary, for further information contact me.

• I do a solo show called "Around the World in 45 minutes", which  I have been doing allmost 100 concerts with in schools mainly for kids from 9-12 years. The show can be done both in Swedish and in English. I also do individual workshops and lectures.
• Both Tummel, World Mix Orchestra, Högtryck and Grannar all do school concerts and workshops for all ages. All can be done in English. Besides that, Tummel can do workshops in Danish, German, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, and Spanish. WMO workshops can be done in French, Persian, and Serbo-Croatian.

Several of my concert programs are very suitable for performing in churches, both in connection with religious services and as regular concerts. 

In the spring of 2005,Pär Moberg was asked by the Regional Music Trust to put together a band consisting of some of all the wonderful folk musicians from all over the world living in and around Malmö. The repertoire is created by the members in cooperation, and consists of traditional and newly composed folk music from all the traditions we represent.

In 1974, one of Sweden`s most influential modern writers, Pär Lagerkvist, passed away. In 2004, 30 years after his death, appeared a group who has specialized in performing music set to his lyrics. It`s actually a bit strange that no such group has appeared before, considering how well his poetry is suited for this.

Högtryck – World Wide Wind

A whole bunch of excellent wind instrument folk musicians happen to live in or near the city of Malmö. That`s how the idea of Högtryck was born; a folk music group with winds only.

Other constellations!

Oomaigoosh plays songs from the 60s and 70s by the Persian Supererstar Googoosh, who is by far the most wellknown artist of Iran. The music is a mixture of Persian folk music and pop, disco and other Western music popular at the time. The band brings back to life the time when Teheran was a place where people sang, drank eachother's health and where people danced in cabarets, in the street and at home.

Tummel is the path breaking klezmer and Balkan band that with ever-present energy takes your heart on a bungy jump. Known as a formidable live band, the Tumlers has managed to turn many a crowd into a roaring, shaking, ferocious mega party. With the motto "music for restless souls", the band re-invents the traditional East European music and turns it into something completely our own. Both our albums, OY! (2001) and Transit (2004) have received lots of very enthusiastic reviews. We have also toured extensively both in Sweden and abroad.
