Sven’s memories were lost in the flames – Go to history

– We will probably get over this.

Says farm owner and city council member Sven Bertelsen from Bakkevej ved Vrå, even though he had a really bad Wednesday.

In the middle of the strong wind, a fire broke out in his large barn, and now only the ruins remain.

Inside the barn were not only mini loaders and other machines. Musical memories with great emotional value were also stored here.

– My old musical instruments were out there. The ones I had taken around and played with for many years, says Sven Bertelsen.

Microphones, speakers, sheet music – it all burned.

Back in the 70s, Sven Bertelsen was in the orchestra Quarks.

For three years they toured and played in community centers and halls.

Good memories

Later, he himself played for many years at silver weddings and parties. However, it has been five or eight years since he stopped doing it, but he still has the good memories.

Even if the musical instruments are among what went up in flames in the fire in the barn. A fire that started on Wednesday afternoon while Sven and his wife were not at home. They were at a family birthday party.

– It went fast

Sven quickly reached home when the news of the fire reached him. But it was nothing to put up with.

– It went very, very fast, he stated.

The cause of the fire is not yet known.

The barn is detached and the farmhouse was not damaged. And even though the many things in the barn were lost, Sven Bertelsen has not lost heart.

Revy can’t wait

– After the fire brigade had left at half past nine in the evening, I drove up and practiced the Lundergård Revue, says the farm owner.

He plays in Lundergård Revyen, which premieres on Friday 19 April, so the participants are busy rehearsing. And the fire in the barn wasn’t going to get in the way.
