P-O, the man
New member in King Laoghaire
Thursday February 12, 2004
For a few months now, there has been a new face in King Laoghaire. His name is P-O Johansson and he plays the accordion. Well, he plays a whole load of instruments really, but will mainly provide accordion in KL.

While the band was trying to find a replacement for the recently departed Magnus Karlsson, Martin decided to get hitched! P-O, a long time friend of his, had been called upon to play piano at the wedding ceremony/musical!

As it turned out; he played the accordion as well and a few King Laoghaire members collaborated with him for the bridal waltz. Naturally the question arose: "Dude, ya wanna jam full time?" So one thing led to another and here we are...

P-O is a renowned and experienced musician in the Uddevalla area and we're happy to welcome him into the Laoghaire fold!
