A cultural experience that has really shaken and changed me? Helen Sjöholm is quick with the answer.
I can say that straight away. Skuleberget's song festival, she says.
The festival is held at the World Heritage Site of the High Coast, not far from Helen Sjöholm's hometown of Sundsvall. It was first held in 1984 and has been a recurring tradition for many years.
I saw it when I was really young and went there for many years. It was huge and there was a fantastic line-up of artists every year, and it was at the foot of a gigantic mountain on the High Coast.
I saw Tommy Körberg there when I was, oh, what was I, 17? Little did I know then that I would get to stand and sing and make noise with that man.
But those evenings at the folk festival, with that breadth and those musical experiences outdoors in that environment, are something that has settled in my body in some way.
She describes it as magical.
It was just such a gigantic musical experience that goes straight into your stomach because you are sitting with many thousands of other people in an incomparable natural environment and getting cultural experiences from that height.
She lists artists such as Kjell Höglund, Maritza Horn and Tommy Körberg.
Live music in that environment, it was like heaven for me, and I have lived with that ever since.
