In the wake of the tsunami catastrophe in Southeast Asia in December 2004, the Norwegian Red Cross and other organizations put together a live telethon charity concert to raise funds to support recovery efforts in the affected areas.

This concert was announced on a-ha.com in early November, and only a few photos are available from the gig.

The crowd at Magne’s Tromsø concert applauded their way through three encores, and were even fortunate enough to hear some unfinished material during the gig.

Magne performed a sold out show at Bergen’s Den National Scene, and the show ended with a standing ovation from the audience.

In September 2004, Magne opened an exhibition called ‘Payne’s Gray’, which coincided with the publication of a book by the same name, and an album and tour to support the ‘Past Perfect Future Tense’ album.

Magne introduced his set at the Henie-Onstad Kunstsenter: ‘Welcome to the most important night of my life.’ The concert coincided with the opening of Magne’s exhibition ‘Payne’s Gray’ and the publication of a book and his first solo album, ‘Past Perfect Future Tense’.

Magne was chosen to open the Carnegie Art Awards event with a live performance, during which he premiered three new songs from his forthcoming solo album.
