Björn Linnman på G

Ulla Berglund, then producer at the Swedish Television - SVT Barn & Ungdom, had the idea of making videos for children. A production intented to be a contrast to MTV. All this in a time when the music video productions was exploding with fast cuts and flashy pictures in a high speed tempo. It resulted in 9 separate programs wich was broadcasted in "Björnes magasin" during the spring in 1990

However the program you can watch as a sample - "Surströmming Blues" was rejected and was never broadcasted. It was said to be too messy for the children. Look and see for yourself!

The music in all videos was composed, arranged, played and sang by Björn Linnman.
