The Norwegian jazz ensemble Poing joined forces with up-and-coming vocal trio Hekate for a special live performance of a-ha’s Hunting High and Low album at Riksscenen in Oslo on Friday, March 28th.

With a special blend of jazz, contemporary and folk music, they started the concert with “Here I Stand and Face the Rain”, playing the full album in reverse order.

Before the show it had been hinted that “special guests” may appear, which became evident when Magne walked on stage to join them on keyboard during “Take On Me”.

Poing has posted a video clip of the performance on their Facebook page.

“It was fun to experience the album like this. And I wish we had recorded a couple of the songs in a similar fashion”, Magne told Norwegian music website Ballade after the concert.

Poing and Hekate will perform Hunting High and Low live once more as part of the Risør Chamber Music Festival on June 26th.
