Sean Tyla

Sean Tyla från Ducks Deluxe gör en spelning på Café Hängmattan i Majorna nästa lördag den
24 november. Läs texten nedan som är speciellt gripande för mig som har kontakt med funktionshindrade, både privat och i arbetet. Tänk vad musik betyder, oavsett om man har MS eller inte.

"People are mailing me and asking what the Tour For Roald is. I can answer that. It's a promise I made that I'm keeping. Roald Hanson lives in Florø on the west coast of Norway. He is my most loyal fan. He loves music. He has advanced multiple sclerosis.
I promised him I would come to Florø and play for him one day. It's taken me five years to arrange but a promise is a promise.

I first met him at the Ducks Deluxe re-union at the 100 Club in London in 2007. He flew in especially, wheelchair and all. Magnificient and brave.
I had contacted him in 2003 as I had tried to track down material to release my back catalogue to launch a re-entry back into the business. He had it all, originals, bootlegs - the lot.
Without him, I probably wouldn't have made it back. I needed a catalyst and he provided it. You need friends like that. That's why I'm playing for him on Oct 12 at Bistro To Kokker in Florø. He's special and I'm lucky."
