Heather Nova

As I promised you, I will tell you something more about Heather Nova. 

Anyway, you can find a few words about her show in Nurnberg, Germany here: http://xgosiax.blogspot.com/2012/03/bryan-adams-in-germany.html

 Heather Nova, (Heather Allison Frith ; born:July 6, 1967) is a Bermudian singer-songwriter and poet. She has released eight full-length albums and has found lasting success in Germany where two of her albums South and Storm have made their way into the Top-5 of German official album chart. In 1990, she released her first recording, Heather Frith, an EP; she had not yet changed her name. The name change came a year or so later, in an effort to create a name with more buzz.

Postcrad from Nuremberg...

As I promised you, I'm sending you my photo-note postcard from beautiful and 'old' city, Nuremberg.

 

Nuremberg [Nürnberg] is a city in the German state of Bavaria, in the administrative region of Middle Franconia. Situated on the Pegnitz river and the Rhine–Main–Danube Canal, it is located about 170 kilometres north of Munich and is Franconia's largest city.

The name Nuremberg is pronounced Noor-em-berg - German Nürnberg as Nuhrn-bayrk.

In the centre of the city, on the bank of the river Pegnitz, stands the Hospital of the Holy Spirit [Heilig-Geist-Spital]. Founded in 1332, this is one of the largest hospitals of the Middle Ages. Lepers were kept here at some distance from the other patients. It now houses elderly persons and a restaurant.

Heilig-Geist-Spital (English: Hospice of the Holy Spirit)

Neues Museum Nürnberg is a museum for modern and contemporary art and design in Nuremberg, Germany. It was opened in April 2000.

Neues Museum Nürnberg

Hauptmarkt, which provides a picturesque setting and famous market for gingerbread. Nuremberg's star attraction is the Gothic Schöner Brunnen (Beautiful Fountain). The unchanged Renaissance bridge Fleischbrücke crosses the Pegnitz nearby.

 

 

Hauptmarkt

Nuremberg Castle [Nürnberger Burg] is a historical building on a sandstone rock in the north of the historical city of Nuremberg. It comprises three sections: the imperial castle [Kaiserburg], some buildings of the Burgraves of Nuremberg [Burggrafenburg], and the municipal buildings of the Imperial City at the eastern site [Reichsstädtische Bauten] - the three castles that tower over the city including central burgraves' castle, with Free Reich's buildings to the east, the Imperial castle to the west.

 St. Sebaldus Church [St. Sebald, Sebalduskirche] is a medieval church in Nuremberg, Germany. Along with Frauenkirche (Our Lady's Church) and St. Lorenz, it is one of the most important churches of the city, and also one of the oldest. It is located at the Albrecht-Dürer-Platz, in front of the old city hall. It takes its name from Sebaldus, an 8th century hermit and missionary and patron saint of Nuremberg. It has been a Lutheran parish church since the Reformation.

 St. Sebaldus Church

 Nuremberg's star attraction is the Gothic Schöner Brunnen [Beautiful Fountain] which was erected around 1385 but subsequently replaced with a replica (the original fountain is kept in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum).

Schöner Brunnen [Beautiful Fountain]

Nuremberg is known for Nürnberger Bratwurst, which is shorter and thinner than other bratwurst sausages. Another Nuremberg speciality is Nürnberger Lebkuchen, a kind of ginger bread eaten mainly around Christmas time.

I hope you like my short note about Nuremberg, and maybe you got to like this city just like I.

Bryan Adams in Germany

I'm back, people! and only what can I say now is 'I want it one more time becausee it was awesome!'. Yes, Bryan Adams concert in Nurnberg [Germany] on March 24, 2012 was, mmm, more than great, cool or awesome, it was something perfect. He gave a wonderful show with only the best songs and amazing atmosphere...dream :)
At 8 PM Heather Nova appeared as direct support and played a few songs. Heather Nova is a Bermudian singer-songwriter and poet and I will try to write something more about her later...

setlist:

- Beautiful ride

- London rain (nothing heals me like you do)

- Like lovers do

- All I Need

- Walk this world

- Higher ground

- Heart and shoulder

 Five minutes after 9PM, Bryan went on stage and the show was started. I think there was no person who wouldn't sing, didn't know his lyrics, wouldn't have a great time and it was pure magic for me. He has fun time with every song, with music... Every next song was better than last one what was wonderful feeling. His concert ended before the midnight, after 2 and half hour with music and his wondrous voice :) 

setlist:

        House arrest
        Somebody
        Here I am
        Remember
Waking up the neighbours
        Can't stop this thing we started
        Thought I'd died and gone to heaven
        Have you ever really loved a woman?
        Hearts on fire
        Do I have to say the words
        18 'til I die
              back to you
        summer of '69
        If you wanna leave me (can I come too?) / touch the hand
        (Everything I do) I do it for you
        Cuts like a knife
        When you're gone
             Heaven
        Please forgive me
        The only thing that looks good on me is you
        Cloud #9
        Run to you
        It's only love
             There will never be another tonight
        Straight from the heart
        All for love 

As you see, he sang many, many song and I think that's why we love him - because of his amazing voice, wonderful songs and awesome concerts :)

before show with sis...

Now I can say only onr thing, it was worthwhile to go there to Nurnberg, to see him live again. I think I will do it again as soon as possible ...maybe in July ;)

Later, I will say more about Nurnberg and my travel and something more about Heather Nova. And of course I will write about my news [maybe I will do it ;) ].

Have a great day!
