Heather Nova has played this week-end in Haldern, at Bospop Festival, and at Festival de Liege, with full band. While the Haldern concert was at normal length, both festival gigs had shorter festival length.

Haldern saw the world premiere of three new Heather songs: Save A Little Piece Of Tomorrow, Turn The Compass Round, and Everything Changes. At Bospop and in Liege, from the new songs only Save A Little Piece Of Tomorrow was on the setlist. Of course, her older hit songs were also played.

Heather has noticed that the weather was hotter than in Bermuda...

Mentioned by Heather on Twitter; and thanks to MiniCooper for providing additional information

"It's always Christmas, when i feel this way", this way to thank you all, all the fans coming to heathernova.net!

In 2009 we had even more Websites visits than ever before. From January 2005 to end of 2008 we counted 1.900.000 visits. Now we reached 5.360.960 visits today, which means about 3.460.000 visits just in year 2009! One reason for this increase of course are the two European Heather Nova tours in August and in fall this year. Not to forget the shows in Bermuda and New York early this year.

Another and very important reason is, that Heather Nova and her husband Felix took over the management tasks. This enables faster news and more direct contact to the fans. Following this strategy, heathernova.net, the biggest international Heather Nova fan forum became the official Heather Nova forums in September 2009! Thanks to Heather and Felix!

And again thanks to everybody for visiting and joining us!

Love and Merry Christmas!
Gerd
