Lisa will be performing on Saturday 7th June at 9:30 p.m. in the Plaça del Consell (Casa la Vall)
in Andorra la Vella We are pleased to announce that "Mamas Gun" will be supporting Lisa on her UK tour, this coming autumn. Both Dave (keyboards) and Terry (guitar) who are part of Lisa's band, are going to be working doubly hard to keep both their own fans (and Lisa fans) entertained during the tour. "Mamas Gun" will be promoting their new album "Cheap Hotel" which is due out in September. You can "follow" them on Twitter and "like" their official Facebook page to show your support. Finally, if you have not yet bought your tickets, (shame on you) here's where to purchase them. "Snowboy" says of The Baltic Soul Weekender show: "I would say Lisa's headline concert at the incredible Baltic Soul Weekender last night was one of the top 5 I've played with her in the last 25 years. As a friend I was so proud of her. The affection and goodwill from that enormous Soul crowd was immense. I'd love to re-live that show" Video clip taken from backsatage by Daniel Dodd Ellis So, yesterday’s blog saw us parked outside the amazing Circus Krone, one of only a handful of permanent circus venues in Europe. Putting aside what you may or may not feel about animals in the circus (I, myself am strongly against) it is still the most fascinating place you could ever get the chance to explore. Anyway, after the tour of the estate it was time to do some work. After the show we had a relatively short (3 hours) drive to Stuttgart and a day off. Last night’s ‘quick’ pre-bed bath turned into a bit of a marathon soak I’m afraid, with several hot water top ups and the chapters dropping like flies. The upshot of which was lights out at 3.00am Next morning rendezvous was at 12.00 in the lobby from where we were taken to the venue – Theater Am Tanzbrunnen, a rather unusual affair in the middle of a park. As it was only a few minutes from the hotel to the venue we had a fair bit of time to kill before soundcheck at 4.00pm so we filled it in the usual fashion. The show was as expected really. The sound was pretty difficult and it was very hard to hear anything on stage with any kind of clarity. Walter (Front of House sound) and Meado (Monitors) are, to my mind, the best in the business and without their expert knob twiddling (ooh,er missus) things could have been much worse. So, with Andrea hermetically sealed into her bunk, the rest of us either drank, watched a movie, talked shit or a combination of all of the above until they could take no more and climbed into their respective bunks. So, after a hearty full Belgian breakfast – which is pretty much the same as a full English breakfast except with toy sausages and salad (who eats salad for breakfast??) – I checked in to the rather imaginatively named Hotel Theatre. After a good Belgian lunch – which was pretty much the same as an English lunch except horrible – Mick and I met up with a very old friend from the days of our youth back in the North East of England. We arrived at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Cologne around 3.00pm having lost the will to live and arranged to rendezvous at 4.00 for a trip into town. So, the plan was to meet in the lobby at 2.00pm and all head out for a spot of Paris sightseeing before an early dinner, a few drinks and a relatively early night. The gig was at Trianon, a lovely little theatre at the foot of the hill leading up to Montmartre. We left for soundcheck around 12.00 and, although it was only about 14 inches away, Paris traffic made sure it took over 45 minutes to get there. Paris audiences can be very sniffy and so Lisa was a little anxious about the reception we would receive – particularly as it was a seated venue. One enterprising fan attempts to steal a march on the European Tour Photo Competition (details here) And so, after a reasonably early night, 80s Dave and I rendezvous in the hotel lobby at 10.45am to catch the first tour boat leaving the jetty opposite the hotel. After lunch and before sound check a couple of us popped next door to look at an brilliant photographic exhibition featuring the work of some amazing tattooists. The travesty of many of these types of exhibition is that they are all too often under-advertised and therefore under-visited and it was a real shame to find ourselves the only people there. Anyway, it was soon time to head back and get to work. |
