I know this is a longshot, but does anybody know of a Jazz club just South of Oslo in Horten called "The Lace", and if so do they have a web presence?

I've hunted and hunted, all to no avail. Any help on this would b muchly appreciated.

Takk.

I have found several references to a place or places called "Lace" in Horten on the Web. I don't know if this means more than one place, or if the "jazzclub" is really a moving collection of people who meet at different venues.

See http://www.lace.no/ - website for Lace restaurant in Horten

http://www.hjc.no/klubbsider.html - this is a website for a "jazzclub" that lists a number of activities at a variety of places (including one gig at Lace). This particular page contains the email addresses for the club's officers, some of whom surely speak English.

See http://www.dagsavisen.no/innenriks/apor/2002/06/664489.shtml
this is a newspaper story (in Norwegian, I assume) about Lace being evacuated with 14 people sent to the hospital (sykehus, which I take to mean "sickhouse" or hospital).

Oh, well, if you don't get a better reply from another VTer, try emailing the officers of the jazzclub; they'll surely know what you are talking about...

Wow, thanx Bill,...this is great.

I did see the site for the Restaurant, but I don't think this is the place I'm looking for, so I'll definately look at the others you've provided.

I appreciate your help, thanx again and if anyone else has any ideas I'd love to hear from you as well.

Hei Lars!

I think it's the name. Beady Belle; a really GREAT Norwegian Jazz/funk combo are apparantly playing there on the 17th of October.

If you like that sort of music I'd definately suggest you try to make it up there for it. I saw them live here in the summer and they blew me away.

Thanx for your help!

Todd.
