ANNEKE VAN GIERSBERGEN Confirms Dutch Shows, Radio Appearance
November 25, 2009, 14 years ago
Anneke van Giersbergen (AGUA DE ANNIQUE, ex-THE GATHERING) has issued the following update:
"Hi from the Netherlands: a cold and rainy place at the moment. The best remedy to chase away my winter blues is to, yet again, release an album in the fall! Makes even the darkest days very exciting... haha. Finally I have some time to tell you about past weeks events! And... I have some exciting news to share with you as well.Right after our remarkable Lebanon trip where we did a one-off show at the Beirut Rock Festival, we started our string of four Dutch shows.We were so happy to start gigging again. All shows went really well and we mainly had to move the song Just Fine a bit around to create a nice flowing set. We've created a special media section with pics and vids of these four shows.
Joost Nuijten shot some great behind the scenes images of the Amsterdam gig.
Annelies did very well on keyboards and backing vocals and we were super glad she came along with us. She's a real sweetheart, so it was great hanging out with her before and after the shows.
We were very happy with the amount of people that came to see us. It was good to recognize a lot of familiar faces (even from far and away places), dear friends & family, but I also saw a lot of newcomers, which is kinda exciting as well. I just loved being on stage again and I'm thrilled to be able to announce new dates!
