Vi gör ett sommarevenemang med syskonen Karlin. Maria, ett energiknippe, mycket duktig sångerska, gitarrist, musikant, underhållare … ja listan kan göras lång. På torsdag kommer hon till oss och med sig har hon sin bror, Lars Karlin.

Lars är en världstrombonist, det är den korta listan.
Den långa är den här…
