Fresh air is part of the Royal Norwegian Embassy’s 2005 programme of events in the UK to mark the centenary of Norway’s independence, a programme that includes music, festivals, exhibitions, theatre performances and seminars.

Says Ola Smith-Simonsen of Sunkissed on the upcoming event:” After putting on many Sunkissed Live events in Norway, I am very excited to showcase the stunning music that my country produces in the UK. At what promises to be a very special event.”
