THE POODLES: New Guitarist Announced

June 8, 2008

Swedish hard rockers THE POODLES have recruited guitarist Henrik Bergqvist (SOUTHFORK, TIAMAT) to replace Pontus Norgren, who recently left the group to join HAMMERFALL. The new axeman made his live debut with THE POODLES on Friday (June 6) at the Sweden Rock Festival in Slvesborg, Sweden.

Commented the band: "It has taken some time and effort to find a suitable replacement, a person that possesses all the qualities needed to fill the position at stage right in this great band. Many talented guitar players have applied and impressed. But in the end we found the linguist and guitar phenomenon Henrik among Mayan Indians in the rainforests of southern Mexico and the deal was sealed!"
