 Ginger Ninja - har allerede fået bonus ud af Montreux...(Foto: Muriel Rochat). In other words, the conclusion so far concerning Saturday’s SPOT On Denmark launch at the Montreux Jazz Festival is positive: Besides the turn-up and the great atmosphere it’s already official that Sony Music’s Swiss department has decided to release Ginger Ninja as a direct result of the band’s Montreux performance. And more may follow because there has been a massive interest on part of the Swiss music business in the wake of the event, which not only presented gigs with the three bands but also hosted a networking dinner for Danish and Swiss music business and media. Furthermore, broadcasts and stories about the event have reached an impressive group of readers and listeners. If you add up the circulation and listener figures for the media that have covered the event, you get 3 million people (quite respectable in a country with 7.8 million inhabitants). Here is a list of the media coverage that brought about the impressive total of 3 millions: 20 Minuten: SPOT On Denmark preview German/Swiss paper similar to Metro, the country’s most widely read paper with 1,361,000 daily readers.
