'And that's how it came to pass that VM and his companion at the time Ulla
Munch showed up at my doorstep'
- the tale of an interview with Al Jones |
Van stayed here in Vanløse -
a Copenhagen
neighbourhood - with his girlfriend Ulla Munch for a while in the early 80'ies.
Ulla's 4th floor apartment has no elevator - Van coined it
'a 20 flight
rock' [Bristol 12/20/99]. The apartment overlooks a long lush green valley
...so Van wrote this song.
Van's infatuation with the band is described in this
Vanlose interview with Al Jones.
June '96 Van did a fierce concert in Middelfart for Rock Under the Bridge on the first day of summer ...later that day he was found in cement under the bridge!! People often ask 'Where is that Vanlose Stairway?'. So I'll provide a map of Copenhagen and Vanløse >>
