On February 26, at Katalin in Uppsala, Sweden, our first ever Award night kicked off with a surprise artist. Erik Runeson, a (until now) undiscovered soul singer started the evening with a real soulful groove.
After an initial introduction about the history of Scandinaviansoul.com Andy and Sandy (no seriously! Andy Collins and Sandra Stadelmann) presented the Awards.
The artists performing were:
Marianne Da Cruz (Won’t you be Mine)
Tanya, accompanied by Chuck Anthony (Mr. love)
Chris Cook & Kristin Amparo (There)
