STOCKHOLM
 And by no means last ELE in concert, Kista Church (Kista Kyrka) Saturday 12th September 2009
Our very own super-talented Swedish singer Eleonore “Ele” Hansson performs a soulful evening with her friends. The Swedish magazine Rodeo described her as “A hot candidate to become the new soul diva of Sweden with her jazzy, neo soul-try sound”, and we totally agree . We predict big things for her.
