It was with sadness but also a great deal of musical admiration and fond memories that we farewelled Niels Rosenhdahl. There were many people present, musicians, friends and family, and plenty of the performers were on stage through a string of combinations. Probably most had played with Niels. Michael and Eric from Straight Up; Leigh, Aron and Sam and The Lethals; a string of duets; finally, a big band assembled by Sally Greenaway playing a song from a UNT mate, a tune by Sally, and two burners written by Niels. The band was fabulous, tight and sharp and exciting, true to Niels' memory. So a sad but respectful outing all round. Valé Niels, you will be in our memories. And CJ's thoughts for family, John, Teresa, Holly and Matilda.
The Niels Rosendahl Memorial Concert was held in the Tim Murray theatre at Canberra Grammar School.
