Kiralina Salandy & Andreas Hellkvist @ Folkets park, Åkersberga on February 6, 2023 2:00 pm
What better way to spend a Monday afternoon than playing uplifting gospel and soul for an enthusiastic audience in a crowded room? It was the first gig for me and Kiralina this year and I think we both were quite excited. So much fun, joy and spontaeity in the performance and the people really enjoyed…

Trinity @ Glenn Miller Café, Stockholm on January 29, 2023 8:00 pm
It's been a while since Trinity played at Glenn Miller Café. Too long if you ask me. Yesterday I realized how much I have missed playing there. We had a wonderful night, and everyone was in their best mood. Already longing for next time!

Orgelparty @ Reimersholme hotel, Stockholm on January 21, 2023 6:00 pm
A friend of mine asked me to play at the opening of his 60 year birthday party. It was supposed to be half an hour od so when the guests arrived. But, as things turned out, I sat there most of the evening and people were really diggning the organ sounds and grooves. A lot…

This year's Elvis birthday party at Katalin was a veritable explosion! The place was packed and everyone gave their best. Guest artists Matte Lagerwall and Jack Baymoore complemented each other great and gave the show that extra edge.

Orgelparty @ Ktvå, Uppsala on December 16, 2022 8:00 pm
The three organ parties at Ktvå this fall has truly been quite spectacular. All of them very different in style, as the guest artists has put their indistinguishable mark on each occasion. The first two were exciting in the way that those were both new constellations that hadn't performed before. This time I knew very…

Trinity @ Norrtälje jazzklubb, Norrtälje on December 8, 2022 7:30 pm
This week, winter really snuck up on us, with tempreratures way below freezing. Nothing strange about that, but it was only then I found out that the diesel heating mechanism in my vcan has stopped working. For a while, it wasn't sure I could get it started, but it worked out in the end and…

Trinity @ Tellus, Stockholm on November 19, 2022 7:30 pm
Tellus is a wonderful venue, an old cinema perfect for intimate concerts. However, lately they are under strict supervision of sound level due to neighbors complaining. So we had to keep it really low key throughout the concert, even on those parts where we usually pull out all the stops. A challenge, but it's also…

Regnbågsmässa @ Skokloster kyrka, Skokloster on November 13, 2022 11:00 am
A friend of mine that I have gotten to know when working with the Afro choir also works as a priest. She asked me to participate in a "Regnbågsmässa" (Rainbow service) in her church. A service where everyone is welcome but with the theme of LGBTQ and queerness. I played a few tunes thoughout the…

Orgelparty @ Västerledskyrkan, Stockholm on November 11, 2022 7:00 pm
This church, Västerledskyrkan in Bromma outside Stockholm celebrated their 80th anniversary, and as a part of that they invited me to play at their "organ pub", after there had been some concerts and talks in the main hall of the church. An enthusiastic, happy crowd and a repertoire consisting of everything a Hammond afficionado can…

Orgelparty @ Ktvå, Uppsala on November 10, 2022 8:00 pm
The second organ party at Ktvå was just as fun as the first one, but in a totally different way. Me and Maria Möller had played a gig in a totally different setting a few years ago but this was the first time we met as a duo. She is such a great performer, both…

Having seen and heard her in with practically everyone on…

Just when I got off my Saturday stream on October 1st I check my messages and saw that I had received a request to play at Kulturoasen the following day. I quickly got on the phone with Kiralina and luckily she was available on such short notice. As was I! So insted of having the…

Hellkvist Hammond Hour @ Hellkvist HQ, Uppsala on September 24, 2022 6:30 pm
A friend of mine in Borlänge, the town where I grew up, had bought an old farm and turned it into a studio and just an awesome place to hang. This night was the opening party. I certainly didn't want to miss the party, but I also din't want to skip streaming so we decided…

Hellkvist Hammond Hour @ Hellkvist HQ, Uppsala on September 10, 2022 6:00 pm
Earlier this the week I succeeded in doing something I've been thinking about for a long time - to connect 4 leslies simultaneously to my B3. I have to say, it's quite an experience! With two cabinets on each side, and also one behind and one in front, the sound is coming at you from…

Carte Blanche @ Uppsala Konsert & Kongress on August 27, 2022 4:00 pm
I had the honor of being invited to a thing called Carte Blanche, arranged once a month in the concert hall of my hometown of Uppsala. Trio X, the house trio, invites a few guests that are not known to the audience before the concert. I also got to invite a guest of my own…

Arnesen Bluesband @ Blidösund, Stockholm on August 26, 2022 8:00 pm
We normally do one gig a year on this beautiful steam ship and usually it's in October. However, this year they moved it to August, and I think that was very lucky for us. It was a beautiful warm day and everyone was on the top of their game.

Hans Bollandsås & Andreas Hellkvist in Concert @ Musikhuset, Gävle on August 25, 2022 8:00 pm
Since Hans and Helene were coming down to Uppsala to be my guests at Carte Blanche, I thought it would be nice to have some other gig as well while they were in the area. Last year at about the same time we played at the opening of Musikhuset as a proper music pub, so…

Hammond clinic @ St. Sigfrids folkhögskola, Växjö on August 22, 2022 10:00 am
Some places stay with you all your life. For me, St Sigfrid Folkhögskola is certainly one of them. I attended this school in 98-99 when I took a break from my University studies in Uppsala to spend more time with my music. And though it was musically a very rewarding year, so much else happened…

This weekend there was a city fest "Karl-Oskardagarna" in Växjö, and I was invited there to play by the cathedral by my friend and priest Carina. I did a set playing music and talkeing and reflecting in between. A really nice concept!

Orgelparty @ Kafé de Luxe, Växjö on August 19, 2022 9:00 pm
I started my weekend in Växjö at the very cosy Kafé de luxe in the city centre. It was a quite a rainy day so people weren't out as much as they would have been otherwise but it was a nice evening regardless!
