After bacon and eggs on Sunday morning (march 8) we drove with the minibus to the Kultur Kafé in Ishöj. In the hearth stood tables with reservationcards for this concert. We never saw this before.
Sven arrived after our soundcheck, and opened de doors for those who were already waiting outside.
We started with "Saint Louis Blues" in streetparade style, and it was an excellent choice to enter, every-one looked very amused.
Sven told us before that Danish people are kind of reserved and awaiting, and that it could take some time to get them in the mood.
We saw nothing of that! Already in the first break they asked for CD's and autographs!
The Second set started with our top act "The Sheik of Araby", although we were not sure to do it. The stir about Danish Cartoons a while ago, was in our minds. But the reaction on our Sheik and his beloved lady in the audience was great, every one clapped and smiled.
Also the humour in our english presentation was understood very well, we heard everybody laugh upon their sleeves.
We had to start our third set with a tune that might not fail here: "Copenhagen", and we dare to do a funny choreografy to it. The ice was broken, completely melted, and everything else you can say about this! And after we thanked Sven, with a Belgian present, in plain public, as organizer of this whole weekend, something unbelievable happened. A lady sneeked outside and brought back a enormous bouquet of roses for us. We couldn't have dreamed of this kind of sympathy, we especially played for her "Red Roses for a Blue Lady".
But more, at the end of the concert we received the ultimate respect a musician can get; They all gave us a standing ovation! These are moments to remember!
Afterwoods Sven told us that this didn't happen ever before, and that he was a very happy man that he could share in this succes!
It won't be the last time we're visiting Denemarken!
