EDITOR’S NOTE: Per had some trouble with traffic jams in Amsterdam today that threw his schedule off, but The Daily Roxette managed to spend some time with him nevertheless. Look for another TDR exclusive interview with the Son of a Plumber within the next few days! — LEO
Update May 4: Per will join SWR3, one of the biggest radio stations in Germany, tomorrow evening. He will be guest on “SWR3 Clubs” which runs between 19:00 and 22:00 CET. The program can be followed online via SWR3 website (click on “SWR3 live einschalten”)

On the site of RADIO 2 it says that the interview with Per will be broadcasted around 16.45!
Remco said on May 1, 2006 14:13:
Furthermore not much info on what’s Per is doing today. EMI refuses to give any info, so the Dutch fans will have to keep their eyes and ears open to find out what has happened today...
Per’s group is currently arriving into the Schiffers.fm ( www.schiffers.fm ) studio, was just announced by the host...
EDIT: A little optimistic: the people joining Per were there already, but Per himself did not make it in time...
sandyam said on May 1, 2006 14:27:
So this means that Per is live at that studio!?
Shit, if I had known that I could have gone there since I am having this week off...!
sandyam said on May 1, 2006 14:28:
Just about 10 minutes to go before the interview starts..
CRIZ said on May 1, 2006 14:29:
seems to be an Oldie-radio programme?? :D
I wonder why EMI always makes such a big secret out of the promotion plans. Do they think we are still 12 years old or what? Good morning EMI

Yeah, that’t great. Per’ll come to Germany again. Yupiie. If I want to be there I have to make a tour through the hole country. It’s a pitty I can’t be there.
sandyam said on May 1, 2006 14:31:
It’s indeed a station that plays loads of old and unkown stuff. Not really my cup of tea....
CRIZ said on May 1, 2006 14:33:
well..if it’s true what I heard with radio FFN on Wednesday than he is just an hour away from me (by car) but...I have to work...as always..shit....OH FINALLY SOME MUSIC AT SCHIFFERS..nice
sandyam said on May 1, 2006 14:37:
He is stuck in a traffic jam! That’s why the interview is postponed!
flower said on May 1, 2006 14:37:
He’s stuck in traffic.... We’ll hear the interview later this week. At least, that’s what the dj said
Remco said on May 1, 2006 14:37:
Believe it or not: Per is stuck in traffic and will not make it to the studio in time!!!
The interview will be broadcasted later this week...
CRIZ said on May 1, 2006 14:42:

Ha ha, 3 posts with the same message posted simultaneously!

Should not have been sleeping so long and gone to the studio earlier!
Remco said on May 1, 2006 14:49:
@ Sandyam: be happy you did not go to the studio! Imagine in what kind of a rush Mr. Gessle must be... stressed out EMI Staff...
I’ve also thought of going to the studio but there was so little info that I decided to stay home. Not a bad choice I think.
Funny indeed that we all wrote the same in one minute... sad reason though!
Judith (moderator) said on May 1, 2006 15:32:
he had interviews in the hotel I guess that’s the reason of delay ...
I also emailed SAW about a more approx time but they haven’t replied yet..
Remco said on May 1, 2006 15:53:
@ Judith: I assume he arrived into Amsterdam somewhere this morning, went to a hotel for interviews and then on to Hilversum?
colinvdbel (moderator) said on May 1, 2006 16:38:
Yes, though he left Amsterdam extra early for Hilversum, he didn’t get there on time - Schiffers promised the listeners that they would get the conversationw ith Per later this week. Check back tomorrow for a more detailed report...

did not read all of your comments...
do you know when pers appearance at radio saw will be broadcasted?
Intel_Inside said on May 2, 2006 11:01:
16.45
Per Gessle kwam gisteren op weg van Schiphol naar Hilversum in de file terecht. Daarom was hij niet op tijd in de Radio 2-studio voor een live-gesprek. Na 5 uur heeft Hans Schiffers een interview met hem opgenomen.
Translations please.
colinvdbel (moderator) said on May 2, 2006 11:45:
translation (of above):
Per Gessle ended up in a traffic jam on his way to Hilversum from Schiphol (airport). Thats why he didn’t arrive on time at the Radio 2 studio for a live-interview. Hans Schiffers has recorded an interview with him after 5 o’clock

@Criz
This radio station is the one which had the most listeners in January, according to a quote on its site! It’s not my favourite radiostation either, but Roxette’s music blends in perfectly and so does Sun of a Plumber’s.They also paid quite a bit of attention to the release of the Ballad Hits. I guess we have to be glad with every promo we can get. But I agree, EMI sucks. But then again, what’s new!
rosetti said on May 2, 2006 12:30:
the guy on the radio says they are broadcasting the rest of the interview later in today’s show... they just played a flash of the interview in which Per told us about the new songs and Marie’s health, so listen up!
rosetti said on May 2, 2006 12:33:
oh, here’s the link
http://portal.omroep.nl/
then go to web radio and choose radio 2
Mary said on May 2, 2006 12:51:
Oh nooooo, I missed the first part... Hopefully it will be available completely later on the site or perhaps someone managed to record it?
CRIZ said on May 1, 2006 13:59:
Oh finally the rumours came true! Thanx! Any information about the time tomorrow? When do I have to turn on the radio? And will this really be the only radio station? I think you forgot radio ffn on Wednesday ;)
