Italy - Kaltern Pop!

31/10/2017

Kaltern Pop is a sister festival to Haldern Pop in Germany.  Brain child of Stefan Reichmann, Kaltern was the village he visited with his family as a child, and he decided to bring a music festival there.  A German speaking town in the vineyards of northern Italy, it has all the traits of Germany and Italy rolled into one.  Confusing I tell you! We were scheduled to play 3 gigs - two in the village and one at the top of the mountian.  The first gig was in a cinema and the second in a wine museum - both amazing gigs with incredibe audiences. But the third gig topped them all.  On Staurday morning we drove up a windy road, to take us to the 'Penegal' at the top of the mountain, to meet Cantus Domus - the choir who we would sing with today.  We walked in and they were rehearsing in the most beautiful room I have ever played in!  They had arranged 'It beats me' for Mark, and 'Lilacs' for me. I litereally cried during the rehearsal because it was so beautiful! 
We weren't quite sure how any people would turn up - there was seating set out for about 40 people - but once the doors opened, people just kept coming in!  there were about 180 there by the time we started and the atmosphere was electric. Mark and I performed 3 songs and the choir joined us and then we did Lilacs and I performed Little Bird, This Secret and Both Sides Now.  Hands down - gig of the year!
