Tomas Nauwelaertz de Agé
Tomas performed from early 60's in the popgroup Playmates home in hockey crazy city of Gävle. Actually one of his school mates, beside forthcoming hockey stars, was Cat Stevens.
The Playmates came back into a very long revival period from the 80's with the original members. During some gigs they were performing together with the Stardust mates Jorma and Mange.
The lead singer of Playmates, Michael Johansson, left his mates for tours as Mick of the outstanding duo Tom and Mick, as they climbed the charts with their mega hit Somebody's Taking Maria Away. Tomas joined Stardust, still called Stämbandet, in 1974.
