From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulf Dageby (born May 10, 1944) is a Swedish rock star, singer, songwriter and artist. Dageby is mostly known for his role in the leftist “rock orchestra” and theater ensemble Nationalteatern.

He was born and grew up in Gothenburg, attended secondary school at Hvitfeldtska and early on his interest in music grew from jazz music, through Bob Dylan to a more rock’n’roll oriented sound. He joined Nationalteatern in 1971 as guitar player and soon became the leading member when it came to writing the groups songs, such as Barn av vår tid (Children of Our Time). He was also one of the main songwriters in the Tent Project (Tältprojektet), a musical theater performance on the history of the Swedish working class, which toured the country the summer of 1977.

Ulf Dageby later wrote film music for many Swedish movies, and he has released several solo rock albums.
