Show a little faith there's magic in the night
I fly to Düsseldorf all the time just to transfer to the train that takes me to Oliver in Cologne. This time, though, we actually had business in Düsseldorf, a concert with Ed Sheeran. Our plan was simple: base ourselves in Cologne and catch up with our friend Carina along the way to Düsseldorf. I’d... Continue Reading →
I first saw The White Buffalo back in 2019, when he played a free concert at Liseberg in Gothenburg. That was the first time I heard his deep, raspy voice live, and it made a big impression on me. When Oliver found out he was coming to Hamburg, he asked if we should meet there.... Continue Reading →
Oliver and I went to Munich for the weekend to see Robbie Williams on his Britpop Tour 2025. We are always looking for reasons to meet and, as we’ve done lots of times, we like to combine it with some music and a bit of travel. Returning to Munich is always a treat. We’ve seen... Continue Reading →
It’s been just a week since Bruce Springsteen played his final show of the tour, and already the road has called again – this time to Warsaw for Guns N’ Roses. In between, life has been a bit hectic: I celebrated Christopher Street Day 🏳️🌈 in Cologne on Saturday, followed by my birthday 🎈on Sunday... Continue Reading →
We arrived early Sunday morning and Milan greeted us with two things: brutal heat (35°C) and a not-so-warm welcome at the hotel. Our room wouldn’t be ready until 15:00 and the staff gave off such a bad vibe that we decided to carry our backpacks around rather than leave them. To kill time and to... Continue Reading →
After a rest day in Cologne with time for laundry and recovery, I was back with Oliver again and on our way to Gelsenkirchen. Sylvia and her friend Martina were going to drive us there and back, so we wouldn’t have to deal with overcrowded trains. We had some doubts about this one. Many fans... Continue Reading →
🚌 Saying Goodbye & Arriving in San Sebastián As I mentioned in my last post, Oliver had to head back to Cologne and work, but he persuaded me to stay. So, after a bittersweet goodbye, I caught the bus from Bilbao to San Sebastián. It’s only about an hour and twenty minutes and the road... Continue Reading →
After sitting out both Berlin and Prague, I have been nursing a proper case of FOMO. Oliver having been at both, was sending updates and photos while I followed along from a distance, equally happy for him and equally envious. I knew I couldn’t be everywhere, but it still stung a little to watch the... Continue Reading →
As we had decided to go to the New York area for the Easter holiday I knew I wanted to book the Rock and Roll Tour of the Jersey shore. On the website there were two tour alternatives; the 2 hours tour and the 4 hours tour. We picked the latter one. When the details... Continue Reading →
We went to see The Dead South at Gothenburg Film Studios last night, not really knowing what to expect. Bluegrass and folk aren’t genres I usually listen to, but I had heard a few songs before and was curious. The Dead South is a Canadian band known for their mix of bluegrass, folk, and a...
