I was lucky to spend a few days travelling around Norway recently. Absolutely beautiful country...although the beer is a bit pricey! Coincidentally, one destination was Trondheim, and the Rockheim Museum there happened to be hosting a fabulous Patti Boyd exhibition, "George, Eric and Me". Naturally I popped along to see it, but wasn't expecting such a warm welcome from Terje Nilsen, Rock Historian and project manager. Terje very kindly showed us all around the galleries in the iconic building next to Trondheim Harbour. Although I'm not too well up on my Norwegian musicians (barring Aha and Aqua!) the interactive displays were breathatking, taking you through from the 50's to the present day via heavy rock, electronica, dance music..in fact every genre. Finally we got to see Patti's exhibition. Photographs, clothing, memory boards and paintings, beautifully curated. Terje and his wonderful team gave each of us a 'goody bag' which I will treasure, My poster of George in the snow at Friar Park is breathtaking and takes pride of place at home. I know I have many Scandinavians coming to Liverpool to take my tours. I highly recommend a visit to this magical place. www.rockheim.no
