No-Gossip-Policy
Gossip surrounding Amanda Jenssen’s private life is NOT something we participate in. The only rumours and speculations you will read here are strictly concerning her music and professional life in general.
Feel like contributing?
▪ Concert reports. Unfortunately, not even a hardcore fan can manage to be at all of Amanda’s concerts. That’s why we would like to publish concert reports from as many gigs as possible. Anyone who can type decent English, has good knowledge about Amanda’s music and feels compelled to write a concert report is welcome to contribute.
▪ Photos. Our goal is to have a photo from each concert in the Gigography section. There are a number of concerts missing pictures. We would also like to add more photos to our Flickr stream. Therefore we would be truly greatful if you would be willing to send an e-mail with your photo/s attached.
