a-ha in the media – the final week
a-ha’s final week was extremely busy. In addition to the four scheduled concerts at Oslo Spektrum, the band also visited the National Library’s exhibition ‘Hunting High and Low: 25 years with a-ha’, signed 500 books for fans at Tanum bookstore, and held one final after-party in the Oslo city hall for invited guests. For the fans there were also Janne Møller-Hansen’s photo exhibition at Galleri MAP and the official fan party at Folketeateret.
We’ll be reporting separately about the concerts and the fan party; here we’ve collected links to media coverage about a-ha’s final week. Many of these linked articles include photo slideshows, video clips and interviews with fans about a-ha’s career. Please add links to other coverage you’ve found in the comments. Enjoy!

Thank you a-ha for such a wonderful time…I’ve been following you career since the Scoundrel Days period, and all I can say is that you are the one who’ve inspired in me so much love and passion for music ( I am a musician) You will be missed as you had such an important place as entertainers in our lives, but we can only wish you all the best for whatever you choose to do from here! Good bye!

Thanks a lot!

Dear a-ha
I would love to see the Hunting High and Low Exhibition at the National Library in Norway but unsure of how to get there; could anyone provide travel details of how to get the Exhibition, i.e. which airport to use, the exact location of the National Library, local accommodation, travel links etc. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Kind regards;
Stephanie

I am going to miss you.You have been part of my life and provided the soundtrack of my journey from my teenage to adult years and I want to thankyou for that.
I went to see you in concert in Glasgow and the memories will live with me forever.
It is my intention to get every a-ha album that I have missed and listen to the great songs and sounds of a great band.
To Morten, Magne and Pal, thanks, good luck and God speed, your music will live on forever and I will make sure my children will listen to the great music of a-ha and appreciate it like me.

Dear a-ha As many fans around the World were unable to
participate in your Farewell Tour and also December’s snowy weather
made travelling impossible for some fans to the final concert on
December 4, I feel that it would be a fantastic opportunity for all
a-ha fans if the Hunting High & Low Exhibition (currently
at the National Library, Norway) was to tour several countries
around the World, as travelling to Norway is impossible for many
fans. Kind regards; Steph x
