article in Harstad Tidende, Friday May 19. 2000
| Translation by Dag Sirnes: Silje Nergaard to Kveøydagene Jazz singer Silje Nergaard will be the main attraction during this year's Kveøya days. She sings in Grendehuset on Kveøya on 19 August, the newspaper Vesterålen writes. The Harstad band ''Dr. Ytterstad's band'' will accompany the artist on stage. It is considered a scoop when the event committee has got the popular jazz artist for its program. The background, however, is that her father comes from Kveøya, and the event is a golden opportunity for the singer to visit the farm where her father was born. In the early 90's Nergaard had a career as a pop artist, but has now with the latest album ''Port of Call'' devoted herself entirely to jazz. |
