World Fair Trade Day 2012

Det blir en flott mulighet til å se oss spille på World Fair Trade Day 2012 i Storgata 38B, i bakgården til Friends Fair Trade 12.Mai.

Einar selv skriver mye om naturen og omgivelsene fra sin oppvekst i vakre Melsomvik. Naturlig er det også da at Einar og resten av Akademiet er mer en middels interessert i miljøet og naturen. World Fair Trade Day er et flott arrangement som vi gleder oss til å dele med så mangen av dere som mulig. Friends Fair Trade jobber for å fremme produkter som er miljøvennlig fremstilt og hjelper at små og lokale aktører og bønder får en større plass i markedet og ikke står alene mot store selskaper som masseproduserer og forurenser mye. Dette støtter vi opp om.

Kom og sjekk det ut da vel.

Vår kjøre Monika har fått sinnsykt god respons på sin opptreden på “The Voice” på TV2 den siste uka. Ingen overraskelse for oss, men utrolig gledelig å se att andre også får øynen opp for denne juvelen av en sangerinne! Lykke til videre Monika. Og til dere som vil høre mer av henne, hør litt på oss, ligger ute på Spotify og på Facebook :D
