Offenbach, October 10th, 2005:

It was a kind of intimate concert in Offenbach, Germany, at Capitol, with maybe around 600 people and as there was no security area in front of the stage. People where standing directly at the stage and could listen to her even more intensive, what made the concert very special. The setlist was planned similar to the setlist in Nuremberg, but as of a special request from the audience, Heather played Sugar and skipped I Wanna Be Your Light and Island.

The setlist: Redbird / Heart And Shoulder / Maybe An Angel / Just Been Born / Motherland / Walk This World / Fool For You / Mesmerized / I Miss My Sky / All I Need / Singing You Through (acoustic with Berit) / Storm (acoustic alone) / Papercup / London Rain / Winterblue / Done Drifting / Blue Black / Encore: Welcome / Sugar

Tuesday is a day off for Heather and band.

On ebay.com, you can now bid on the Heather Nova guitar that Heather held in her arms on the European "South" cover. The dress she wore on that pic is also included in the auction. Both signed by her.

ebay auction link

Description: THIS GUITAR FEATURED ON THE COVER OF HEATHER'S ALBUM 'SOUTH' AND WAS LATER SIGNED BY HEATHER. IT WAS A GUITAR HEATHER WROTE SOME OF HER EARLY MATERIAL ON, BUT IS NO LONGER A GOOD QUALITY PLAYING GUITAR ! IT'S PRETTY WORN OUT, OF MORE USE TO A COLLECTOR THAN A PLAYING MUSICIAN. It's a mexican acoustic currently with 5 of the 6 strings on. As an additional part of this auction, I'm also including the dress Heather wore on the cover of the album 'South'. it has also been signed by her. The reason for the sale of these Items is a clear out of my Studio, and the guitar is no longer a 'players instrument' Items can be collected at any upcoming Heather Nova concert (you can be on the guest list), which may be easier than posting, although Shipping is fine.

This is the 100th news at Heather Nova Net. Celebration!

Heather Nova's new album "Redbird" was released today in UK.

Redbird on Amazon UK

The Heather Nova concert in Utrecht (The Netherlands) on October 4th, 2005 is sold out !

This is the second concert of the Redbird Tour which is sold out. Brussels, 3 days before, was the first one.

Brussels, October 1, 2005:

Heather Nova played the second concert of her indoor Redbird Tour 2005 in Brussels, Belgium, at Ancienne Belgique.

It was an amazing gig, one of the best of the past few years, like of the pre-Storm era. A nice, long, rocking set, just like the old days, with fabolous sound.

There was a film in the background on some songs:

- on Fool For You clouds passing buy in the early evening sunlight.
- on Mesmerized a blue pattern moving, looking a bit like the surface of water
- on Make You Mine a picture of cardiogram moving from top to bottom

She started Redbird with some lyrics of Ruby Red.

The setlist: Storm / Heart And Shoulder / Motherland / Redbird / Just Been Born / Walk This World / Fool For You / Mesmerized / I Miss My Sky / All I Need / The Sun Will Always Rise / Someone New / Walking Higher / London Rain / Winterblue / Done Drifting / Make You Mine / First Encore: Island / Welcome / Second Encore: Everytime

The songs The Sun Will Always Rise, Someone New, and Walking Higher were played as an acoustic set in the middle. Also the opener Storm and final song Everytime were acoustic. On Everytime, she invited everybody to whistle along.

Thanks to Gerd, Didier, Johan, Jelger, Joeri, Geert, dblef.

London, September 30, 2005:

Heather Nova did the first concert of her indoor Redbird Tour 2005 in London, UK, at Shepherd's Bush Empire.

This was a very special concert, because her long-time cellist Nadia Lanman, who left the band some years ago, made a guest appearance. Nadia was a band member from 1993 till 1999, had played the cello, but also the keyboards on tour and had taken the cello parts on Oyster and Siren.

Together, Heather and Nadia played four songs in the middle of the set for an very intimate acoustic duo spot: Doubled Up, My Fidelity, Truth And Bone, and Water From Wine. As encore they both also performed I'm On Fire. Heather was very emotional. She told about their touring just the two of them and how glad she was to see Nadia again. Nadia's cello spot sounded amazing.

The gig was brilliant, Heather's voice seems to get better and stronger with age. Also a good balance of old and new in the set. Nice to hear Laurie back on drums; although Luke was great; Laurie knows the Heather sound inside out. Berit seemed quiet in the mix but she added a great deal of atmosphere to the sound.

The other Heather Nova gigs on this tour are unfortunately without the guest appearance of Nadia Lanman.

Heather played these songs: Storm / Heart And Shoulder / Motherland / Redbird / Just Been Born / Walk This World / Fool For You / Mesermized / I Miss My Sky / All I Need / Doubled Up / My Fidelity / Truth And Bone / Water From Wine / London Rain / Winterblue / Done Drifting / Make You Mine / First Encore: Welcome / Island / Second Encore: I'm On Fire

As a special surprise Heather was accompanied on the song I Miss My Sky by famous violonist Fiona Pears from New Zealand on violin, who also did one supporting act before Heather's show. Her homepage: http://www.fionapears.com

Today, September 6th, marks the release of Redbird in France. As reported earlier, it is a digipak, with the same tracklisting as the other versions that are already available. It also features the same track times mistakes. The Welcome single cover is used behind the disc tray. The disc itself is slightly different, with a white background on the edges and a maroon background beneath the black marks. "Heather Nova Redbird" is written in black instead of exposing the CD's surface. The legal mentions stretch all the way around and are not the same. Be sure to check out our picture gallery for pictures (coming soon). Currently I've only seen this version, i.e. no standard jewel case for now.

You can order it now on FNAC.com for 15.99€ plus postage. In FNAC stores it is sold for 17.50€. It is also available at ALAPAGE.com, for 15.76€, but the delivery is up to 6 days in France... to say nothing of foreign countries!

[EDIT] It is now available on AMAZON.fr for 16.62€.

In any case, it looks like delivery outside of France costs at least 8€.
