Random Trivia

All random facts sourced from the outstanding book, The Swing of Things: 20 years with a-ha. This has been a deleted title for many years now but copies do come onto the market from time to time and sometimes at a half decent price! I wonder if there is really anybody out there who would pay Ł1000 for a copy as I've seen it priced on occasion? Available from ebay.co.uk (direct link to book)

The video for Minor Earth was filmed in Prague. Forever Not Yours in Havana.

a-ha held a total of 409 concerts in 31 different countries during the period between 1986 - 2004.
