Suzanne Vega & Seth Lakeman – iTunes Live Festival
I got two tickets yesterday to go and see tonight’s concert at the Koko in Camden/London. The gig, which was part of the London iTunes Live Festival featured Seth Lakeman and Suzanne Vega! To be honest, I didn’t really know Seth Lakeman before, but it was a wonderful concert, and will certainly invest some of [...]
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all of you! There couldn’t be a better day for me to post the following video. The text is based on a true story. In 1897, a little girl wrote a letter to the New York Sun (one of New York’s newspapers at the time). She basically only had one question: Is [...]

Paul McCartney – Live at the Roundhouse – Camden/London
I had the pleasure to go and see Paul McCartney playing live at the Roundhouse in Camden last evening. The concert was part of the BBC Electric Proms and sold out since a long time! It was a wonderful evening. Seeing McCartney live, in a rather small location like the Roundhouse is just amazing! He [...]
John Lennon’s Birthday Party
One of the websites I visit on a regular basis is thatguitarman.com. I had the pleasure to see David Ippolito playing his guitar live at the hill in Central Park twice on my trips to New York City a few years ago. Last week, October 9th would have been John Lennon’s 67th birthday. Have a [...]
Herbert Grönemeyer at the Royal Albert Hall
Last Thursday I went to see Herbert Grönemeyer at the Royal Albert Hall here in London. I was kind of hoping that it would be a nice evening, and guess what: It was even better! It was certainly one of the best concerts that I have seen this year! Grönemeyer clearly enjoyed playing at the [...]
The beat goes on
As a lot of you know by now, Apple has scheduled a “special event” this Wednesday. I am not going to repeat all of the rumours of what will be announced, but, jut for the fun of it, here is my prediction: It will be the long awaited new iPod. Using the OSX and having [...]
Latin Music and other fun at Burgess Park
Another nice weekend in London! The weather was wonderful and there is always something new to see in London. One of this weekends events was the Carnaval del Pueblo in Camberwell (next to Elephant and Castle in South London). It is the biggest latin Carneval event in the UK, over 100’000 visitors last year. I [...]
Greenwich & Docklands Festival
Among the many events this weekend, was also the Greenwich & Docklands festival. A series of events were happening in the area. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t really that favourable on Sunday, but at least on Saturday, I was able to enjoy some of the performances.
Hydepark Calling – and the rain came….
We are in the middle of the OpenAir Festival Season. I went to HydePark Calling today, mainly to see Peter Gabriel. I arrived at the Festival area shortly after five, and although there were a lot of people there, my first impressions were still that I have been at better OpenAir festivals in the past. [...]
Thriller – Live
The next live event I went to see here in London was “Thriller – Live” at the Hammersmith Apollo. Yet again, I have not been disappointed! A great evening! Based around songs from Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 it was like a trip down memory lane! Getting some decent images or videos from the [...]
Die Fantastischen Vier Video Clip
As promised, here is a video clip showing some of the images/videos I took recently at the Forum in Kentish Town. It is 15 minutes long…enjoy, but don’t expect HiDef quality. The pictures and videos have been taken with a Sony DSC T9.
Die Fantastischen Vier
I went to see "Die Fantastischen Vier" tonight at the Forum in Kentish Town, and I have to say that I haven't been disappointed at all! It was great fun! Nearly 2 hours incredible fun! Although it was a bit weird to be surrounded only by German speaking people (kind of expected this). It was [...]
Fanta 4
As the title already indicates, this entry is about the german band "Die Fantastischen Vier". I heard recently that they will have a gig here in London, as part of their Club-tour called "Fornika für Dich" Well, I have never seen them live, and as such, I decided to buy tickets straight away. They will [...]
Loreena McKennitt
Last evening I went to see Loreena McKennitt at the Barbican. The event was part of her "An Ancient Muse" Tour, and I have to say, that seeing/listening to her live on stage is fantastic! A truly unforgettable evening! A must see!
Classical Spectacular
I went to see my first major concert since I moved to London. It was actually pure luck that I even became aware of it. While walking around London, I saw posters for an event at the Royal Albert Hall called "Classical Spectacular". Well, once I was home, and read more about it on the [...]
