SET LISTS & SOFIA

The train bisected the country, it took six hours from Sofia’s west coast home town of Gothenburg to Stockholm in the east. Many bands had just the one date in Stockholm and didn’t play Gothenburg. On this particular pilgrimage Sofia and her friend Babette were travelling to see Counting Crows. They were waiting outside the venue, spotted by the band’s guitar technician, he asked if they needed tickets, but they already had them. After the gig Duncan offered them the band’s set list. For the next three years the pilgrimages continued, and where Sofia could she would take the set list home. Aged 22 Sofia moved to London, every band came through her newly adopted city. Her broad collection of set lists incudes Kiss, The Wannadies, Nina Simone, Ulf Lundell, The Rolling Stones, Sea Sick Steve, The Stone Roses and Bruce Springsteen – six hundred and counting.
