When I moved to H\u00f8rsholm in 1983 I picked up an old dream of playing jazz, bought a double bass and joined a local swing\/latin band. At times I also played guitar and double bass in a band based on the Irisk\/Scottish folk music tradition.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-52\" src=\"http:\/\/gerthemmingsen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_0039-1-759x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gerthemmingsen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_0039-1-759x1024.jpg 759w, https:\/\/gerthemmingsen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_0039-1-222x300.jpg 222w, https:\/\/gerthemmingsen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_0039-1-768x1036.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gerthemmingsen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_0039-1.jpg 1516w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-52\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An artist&#8217;s impression.
