	We had the chance to ask some questions to the organizer of the show in Frederikshavn on the 2nd of April 2011, Niels Estrup of Owit Music Europe.
	Niels, you have been on the NOTP tour in 2008. Was it for pleasure?
	I was touring with NOTP in 2008 as manager for Igudesman and Joo.
	Were you on the party bus in Charleroi 2010? Yes, I was on the bus, actually it was all arranged by me, let me tell you why. We wanted to show our Danish sponsors the show, we had everything in line to fly them to Brussels. Then the Icelandic Volcano decided to throw a wrench in the machinery and we had to think fast and creative. From my years of touring with bands, I immediately thought of a nightliner and the result I guess you saw yourself We are actually thinking about doing this again because not only does it give our sponsors the chance to see the amazing show, but it also let them see the life of a touring band, which is not a chance many people get.
	What do you think about Div4s?
	I loved the DIV4S, obvious as we are very happy to have them on our show in Denmark
	Why is your first NOTP concert in Frederikshavn and not in a major Danish city like Copenhague or Roskilde? Why only one concert?
	My idea is to start NOTP anywhere else than Copenhagen, as I wanted it to have a big impact on the area we approach. Copenhagen, as any capitol or major city has a huge amount to offer – when we move into Frederikshavn it will be an event for the town and area. That way we want to establish a relation with our audiences.
You already announced for 2012 three concerts in Danemark and one in Sweden; will you also visit other Scandinavian countries like Norway, Finland and the Baltic states?
I have announced that we are planning 3 shows in Denmark for 2012 and 1 in Sweden, until we have everything confirmed for these, I cannot get into deeper details yet. Norway, Finland and the Baltics will come if not in 2012 then maybe 2013, one thing is for sure, we will not rest our case until we feel that Scandinavia is properly covered.
Which artists would you like to perform in the coming NOTP shows? And why?
The artists for 2012 are still not known and needless to say I have my favorites. I will keep those close till we have the artists confirmed. One thing I can tell you though – it will be fantastic, as always.
You like very much West coast music and you have an office in Los Angeles. So, will you introduce Night of the Proms in America?
I love west coast music, but in general I love all REAL music. I made my first profits ans losses promoting west coast music, and I will never forget the artists and audiences who believed in me then. This is why we still promote shows with a lot of the LA cats. When it comes to bringing NOTP to the states I can say this. I am very dedicated when it comes to NOTP and I am also honored to be considered a part of the NOTP team. I am sure that NOTP will break into the states some day. In this as in any other matter I open all my tools and network to the NOTP organization but this has not been discussed so far.
Thank you very much. The Night of the Proms concert in Fredrikshavn is the beginning of a long and successful tours in Scandinavia!

Arena Nord (only 4000 seats) is almost sold-out; the NOTP stage is that big that they had to remove part of the tribune!

Tickets: starting from 575 DKK (€ 77) up to € 1195 DKK (€ 165) through Arena Nord
