A week after...
A week after these great concerts (lucky me to be present on two gigs in two days - thanks to Sue and Mike Holton, who took great care of me and did not leave me in the ancient Roman town of Cirencester
, I have a feeling that I have not returned fully to the real world yet. Oh yes, I can work, do the shopping etc., but my soul is still in Lydney trying to catch the echo of Ravens and Lullabies and it also flies to Cirencester.
Meeting Sue and Mike for the first time, I had a feeling that I meet old friends! I will be grateful for ever for your encouragement and help - without you it would not be the same (if possible at all). I do hope that Mike and you enjoyed the company of fans from I and PL as much as they enjoyed yours. Thank you for these great days! Danila and Alessandro - you made these days very special.
I have some more thoughts to share:
The idea of playing Ravens and Lullabies live (along with Gordon's classics and Oliver's great songs) was something brilliant: I would love to know who was behind this idea and I would love to express my gratitude for it.
Gordon and Oliver have a gift of bringing together wonderful people both on stage and in the audience. The musicians (that they are clearly great is no secret - just name the bands Arena, Threshold and think of West End musical) created atmosphere full of passion and played a fantastic concert. After the concert it was a shear joy to talk to them.
Let me say it again: On stage there were superb musical talents, God bless them for giving us so much joy! And the fans: what a wonderful group - thank you for such a warm welcome and a truly unforgettable atmosphere you created.
Two years ago, from Gordon's solo concert in St. Ives, I brought back a souvenir: "Here comes the sun", now I have another precious gift from Cirencester: "Roots".
In 2011 Ania, my lovely wife, and I came for Gordon's concert in St. Ives to celebrate our wedding anniversary, this year the trip to the concerts was a present from Ania for my 50th birthday. I do not know how to thank you, my dearest Ania...
Till next time,
