"Dan Klarskov whose flirtation with the blues grew into a burning love when he heard Kenn Lending play at a festival in Fælledparken, Copenhagen, in the middle of the 1980’s."...
"His music touched me deeply, and I quickly started frequenting the blues venue rådhuskroen (which is now Mojo, ed.). I got to know Kenn Lending. He tutored me, and one night during a jam session when he was playing amid the audience, he suddenly gave me his guitar. I played like a madman, and afterwards Kenn Lending told me: ‘you can play whatever you want, but don’t forget to play a little blues. It’s in your blood.’ I took that piece of advice, and I have played nothing but the blues ever since."
