this is where the love affair started with a-ha, I remember watching them on Countdown when I was about 13 and I was gone, so much so that in 2000 I went to Norway and saw them in concert, sad some might say but a childhood dream came true and it felt amazing!

A-Ha’s first single ‘Take on Me’ took three times to become a hit in the UK, eventually hitting #2 in November 1985, and going one better in the U.S. The song’s award-winning video is credited for its success. Who could forget that sketch animation/live-action video?

Oh wow! How I love this site! They may have been just a one-hit wonder, but I proudly admit I went to their concert at the Melbourne Concert Hall and I still play their cd!
