Balstock 2024 [eng/deu]

in Music2 months ago

Hello Hivers!
Anke here aka Anna-NewKey.

Jump to the German version

Two years ago I played a solo gig at the Balstock Festival. Lots of local businesses take part and I got a slot at the Cafe Luna, shortly after I had finished playing with Swing 42 at the Hen & Chickens.
I went as Anna NewKey then.

For this year's event I applied multiple times, as myself and as Steve O and Anke, but I was also in the @riverkicks application.
A lot of people actually do that, but because they had so many bands this year I guess it was one too many..
None of the applications made it.. 😄

However, Steve had applied as himself, and although he didn't make it in the past, this time he got a slot as Steve O at the very same place, Cafe Luna.

However, he never actually prepared for a solo gig, although he's got loads of stuff to choose from.
Things sound so much better together !

We were the first act to play and got extra time because we started to warm up well before our slot.
Ian, the landlord, had a great setup, being a musician himself, it all sounded great and the place looks lovely.

We had a great time and got some food thrown in afterwards, a lovely afternoon!

German Version

Vor zwei Jahren spielte ich einen Solo-Gig beim Balstock Festival. Viele lokale Unternehmen nehmen teil und ich bekam einen Slot im Cafe Luna, kurz nachdem ich mit Swing 42 im Hen & Chickens gespielt hatte.
Ich ging damals als Anna NewKey.

Für die diesjährige Veranstaltung habe ich mich mehrfach beworben, als ich selbst und als Steve O und Anke, aber ich war auch in der @riverkicks-Bewerbung.
Viele Leute machen das tatsächlich, aber weil es dieses Jahr so ​​viele Bands gab, war es wohl eine zu viel.
Keine der Bewerbungen hat es geschafft. 😄

Steve hatte sich jedoch als er selbst beworben, und obwohl er es in der Vergangenheit nicht geschafft hatte, bekam er dieses Mal einen Platz als Steve O am selben Ort, dem Cafe Luna.

Allerdings hat er sich nie wirklich auf einen Soloauftritt vorbereitet, obwohl er jede Menge Songs hat.
Zusammen klingt es so viel besser!

Wir waren die ersten, die spielten, und bekamen zusätzliche Zeit, weil wir schon lange vor unserer Zeit mit dem Aufwärmen begannen.
Ian, der Wirt, hatte ein tolles Setup, da er selbst Musiker ist, klang alles großartig und der Ort sieht super aus.

Wir hatten viel Spass und bekamen danach noch etwas zu essen, ein schöner Nachmittag!

I apologize, it looks like you’ve had this shared account for a year now and I’m only just now following - major oversight in my acquisitions department…someone will be fired over this!

🤣😂🤣

It's great that you got a slot. I'm sorry to have totally missed it this year.

Well, I sneaked in really.. 😄
I see that some people managed to play solo and as a band.
I suppose you have to know the right people. 🙄
