TV i Flower Pop


















Cold winter. The southern danish Lowlands. Small town Holeby’s teenagers suddenly get a wake up call. Our music club, Flower Pop was contacted by producers from DR TV. Due to some cancelled gigs in Sweden british blues-rock group Ten Years After was rushed through a short Danish tour during the 10th-16th of February 1968.
With no time for further promotion only a few local newspapers and a teenage magazine were contacted. DR producer Palle Holgersen wanted an audience, and the coconut telegraph and jungle drums gathered club members. Tests and rehearsals started early the 15th and the 16th we were more or less ready. Many popclub members were left outside in the cold though. Only some 200 were let inside. At their arrival they saw why: Their favorite stomping ground, the old cinema theater, was occupied by equipment. Lightning-, sound- ,TV-boxes and cables and orchestra gear all over. 25 DR-people, managers, press- a.s.o.
Close to the nearby Holeby Inn outside was the DR transportation and recording busses. By 1968 DR was still trying to get used to the loud rock concerts. The b/w tv recording was aired the 24th of february on national tv. The tapes might be lost, but luckily some photos surfaced and caught the event.
A good music program indeed. Copenhagen folksinger Ann Tholsted had her first public appearance and Money Makers, an established Danish pop group found time to pool and snowball in between rehearsals. They remember: ” We were very impressed by Ten Years After. After arriving they slept around just before going on stage, delivering a fantastic show and returning to the tour bus”.
- Det var en af de sidste gange Ten Years After optrådte i klubber. Efter denne danmarkspremiere, der også inkluderede en koncert i Reventlowhallen nogle dage senere, var de blevet så populære, at det blev de på de store spillesteder, at man kunne opleve dem. Mest markant var deres optræden på Woodstock-festivalen.
- Money Makers fortsatte et års tid før de blev opløst.
- Det var Ann(ette) Tholsteds premiere. Hun optrådte siden i Københavnsområdet, lavede bl.a. en anbefalelsesværdig LP samt var med i den danske opsætning af musicalen Hair.
- Flower Pop havde fået selvtillid nok til at lave mange flere store rockarrangementer.
- Eugen Tajmer gik umiddelbart efter fallit, men startede kort efter som manager for bl.a. Danny & the Royal Strings.
- Palle Holgersen blev siden en kendt sportsjournalist og indspillede faktisk selv en LP med viser.
- Optagelsen blev sendt lørdag d. 24. februar. Den blev båndet, men alt tyder på, at den desværre er slettet af DR. Men heldigvis ikke helt af vores hukommelse, som oplevede det.
