Ane Brun confirms live DVD details

Guests include Anna Ternheim, Lisa Ekdahl, First Aid Kit

At last, news of a release we’ve been anxiously awaiting for over 6 months – Norwegian singer-songwriter and recent Wears The Trousers cover star Ane Brun will gradually roll out her first ever live DVD, Live At Stockholm Concert Hall, across Europe from September onwards. The epic 25-song concert film captures a very special show at Stockholm’s Konserthuset in September 2008 and was directed by Magnus Renfors, the man behind all of Ane’s recent music videos. Each of her albums is represented, from 2003′s Spending Time With Morgan to her most recent release Changing Of The Seasons, alongside covers of Cyndi Lauper (‘True Colors’), Alphaville (‘Big In Japan’) and St. Thomas/Thomas Hansen’s (‘Falling Down’). Hansen was a Norwegian musician who tragically died of an accidental prescription drug overdose in 2007, aged 31, and later commemorated on a tribute album.

The 1400-strong crowd at the Konserthuset were treated to a rather spectacular performance as Ane brought along several of her friends to form what she describes as “a singer-songwriter choir” – keep your eyes peeled for the likes of Anna Ternheim, Lisa Ekdahl, First Aid Kit, Nina Kinert, Tobias Fröberg and Elin Ruth, among others – and a nine-piece band including two pianists, a symphonic percussionist and an extra guitarist. It’s definitely Ane as you’ve never heard her before! And you won’t even need to be next to a telly to hear it, as Ane is releasing the film with an accompanying 18-track CD of selections from the show plus a bonus studio version of ‘My Baby’s Arms’, previously only available on Ane’s demos album Sketches. The double-disc package first arrives in Scandinavia on September 16th, followed by Germany, Austria and Switzerland on September 25th. Release dates for all other countries will be announced shortly.

For Ane’s personal reflection on the show, our issue #7 interview is now available online here.
