When Irina Bjorklund saw the movie Delicatessen at the age of 16, she decided she wanted to play the musical saw (or singing saw). That way, she could always provide for herself. You can hear Irina play the saw in Casse-Moi, one of the two French songs from her debutalbum Oh L'Amour, released last year. It's an ode to her beloved Finland (she's actually born in Sweden, but moved to the neighbours one year later) and France, where she lived and worked as well. She also sings in English and Russian. Irina is a well-known actrice in Scandinavia, she starred in over 40 films, and even met her husband Peter Franzen via the movies. She composes soundtracks, they worked together, one thing led to another. There's another Peter F. (Fox) that is her musical companion on her album. They performed at the recent South by South West-festival - somebody send me the link to this site. Merci for that.

I've happened to find your blog. a nice blog for music lovers. I didn't know that Brogger is allowed to upload mp3. How could you do that?

Hi there, love your blog. I've found a lot of great music and artists here.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYour info on Irina Bjorklund is a bit off, though: Peter Fox is in fact not Irina's husband, only her musical companion. Peter Franzen is her husband, a completely different person, a well known actor in Finland. She has once jokingly said something about having two Peter F.s in her life.
bests,

Oops. Will change.
