He has collaborated with numerous artists both in Sweden and internationally, and his contributions to music have earned him widespread recognition and accolades, including several Swedish Grammy Awards.

Great interview and of true value to real ABBA fans to hear from Janne, with so many of those incredible musicians who worked with ABBA now being no longer with us. Hopefully they all knew how much their contributions meant to so many fans.
I think he understands his value, thx for listening
Janne Schaffer is a true legend in Sweden., He was probably the first musician i noticed, growing up in Sweden in the seventies. He was frequently on TV and he looked very different with his long blond hair and he was always moving his tongue while playing, which I found very funny as a kid.
Funny you should say that about the tongue - he still does! I know so many Swedes that hold him close as a hero and he is, and a lovely guy too!
I think as good as new is just a little bit speeded up ;) I'll ask Janne next time!
Sounds it
Great interview! 🎉
Thx
Janne Schaffer is the best! Thanks for the interview. Hope Steve get some time to listen to some of the artists Janne tells us about..

Thanks for the links. I’d started but now with your help I can do it! 🎉🎉🎉
I see that you removed my link to Janne's tribute to Lasse Wellander. Since he mentioned it in the interview i thought it would be ok, i apologize if it wasn't.
I didn’t remove anything. I’m not even sure how to
TH-cam must have removed it then. Anyway, the project is called "Lasse Wellander Tribute Project" and the tune Janne plays on is "Lingonskogen".
