How are you, where are you?
Hi Jorn Viggo Lofstad, guitar player of Pagans Mind here.I'm doing fine thank you and right now I'm in my hometown Skien in Norway.

Q. What's currently happening in your /Pagans Minds world?
Right now we are writing songs for the new Pagans Mind album,that and also preparing for some festivals this summer.

Q.What has been the best concert you ever attended?
Van Halen,1993 in Oslo Spectrum

Q. What was the first song you ever wrote/performed?
I dont remeber the title of the song, i was 15 or 16 performing with a band of high school friends called Mortification.Well wait: I may have written some tunes on my very old "Casio hehe" keyboard at age 7 or 8 and played for my family or friends.

Q. Do you remember the first place/ time you stepped on stage to play? What happened?
It was on a local teenage club and I was totaly terrified, i remember playing cool afterwards but the truth was I almost wet my pants before and during the concert haha.

Q. What performer are you in awe of? Why?
In awe? I guess you mean my favorite player or something, well I have been inspired by so so many great guitar players but if I have to mention one it have to be Eddie Van Halen, probably because I was so into Van Halen in the period I "started to learn how to play for real"

What would be the high point & low point of your career?
My low point must be wasting many years playing cover songs instead of writing music like I do now. So many high points:Pagans Mind and Jorn!! All the incredible people that we are so lucky to be able to play for:)

Q. What is you favourite city/town to have a show in & Why?
I think my answer would have to be The progpower festival in Atlanta (which I'm lucky to be headlining with Jorn this year the fans are so thankful for the music that is being performed and the festival's high quality is rare these days!

Q. What colour is the sky in your world?
Dark blue
