Zekes – Vi Lyfter Igen

Zekes… a bit of Swedish alright! In 2010 I was at Stockholm Pride and walked past the smaller of the two concert stages in the park (as I did many times over the fours days). On the smaller stage, a lot of individual and dansband performances were held – acts not quite big enough to justify [...]
