Just before the corona pandemic, the Filborna car scrap burned to the ground. The family heritage that Mats Kärrlid and his brother have driven together for 24 years.

When the coronavirus then spread to a great extent in Sweden, the dance bands in Sweden stopped gaining. The music was silent overnight, Mats Kärrlid says.

- I can't really understand it, I've played dance bands my whole life - but I've never been to anything like it, says Mats Kärrlid.

"It can't get any worse than this"

Although spring has been a painful time for the dance band profile from Åstorp, he still looks positively on the future.

"Now there can be no more things," he says.

How is it possible to be so positive in this situation?

- I am positive by nature, but it is clear that it sometimes comes across one. Then maybe you get a dip, says Mats Kärrlid.
