Marte Eberson & Jon Eberson - Forgetful (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

I’m an avid fan of the TV comedy series Benidorm (like every night), about the adventures of a motley crew of ‘Brits’ on their annual holiday in Europe’s biggest resort town at the 3-Star Solana Hotel and which is on a permanent loop on a retro TV station here.

Every night they get themselves into an unholy mess, often involving a run-in with the Law; a walking, talking advert for everything that is wrong with UK plc.

But sometimes there is pathos and tenderness. In one recent episode the loud mouthed northerner Mick Garvey forgot his 10th wedding anniversary prompting his wife Janice and her family to disown him and the situation could only be rectified by Mick paying the resident crooner in the hotel’s nightclub to sing a smoochy song for her, after which they kissed and made up.

That sort of thing happens thousands of times every day and is indirectly the subject of a rare acoustic single, a cover, from the Oslo-based father and daughter duo Eberson.

Eberson has appeared in NMC before, but never like this. It is a dynamic jazz-rock fusion band. I’ve seen them live and they almost rocked down the walls of Victoria, Nasjonal Jazzscene in Oslo.
