This Saturday, Shuffle Service, the Norwegian Blues- and Rock Foundations,

Skedsmo Blues Club, Skedsmo's proud Mayor Anita Orlund, close friends

and family celebrated Shuffle Service' grand victory in Union Blues Cup 2008.

And what a success it was! There were music, speeches, laughter and joy -

every one seemed to be having a really good time!

Some fantastic gifts were brought us from

Skedsmo Blues Club
Vidar Strand's Memorial Fond
Kulturpuben
Østkanten Blues Club

Skedsmo Kommune
Roma Mineralvannfabrikk in association with RC Cola
Stiftelsen Gamle Lillestrøm BA

45 000 kroners in total! We couldn't be happier or more humbled by the generous gifts -

all earmarked to send Shuffle Service to Memphis and IBC in February! In that,

Shuffle Service will be the very first Norwegian band ever to participate in the highly

renowned international competition!

We are honored and thankful for the overwhelming support shown us.
