Heather Nova played her second concert of her summer tour in Interlaken, (Switzerland), which lies between 2 lakes surround by 4000m high montains. The stage where she played belongs to the backpacker hostel called Funny Farm and is directly attached to the house. a nice little open air venue with little hills and a forest at the end of the area. It was the premier for this stage.

The concert was announced only 4 weeks ago, but at least about 300+ people joined the gig. a mixture of fans, people who are doing holidays there and people from switzerland joined.

It become luckily cloudy before Heather and band hit the stage, as the stage is not protected against sunlight and the sunlight was quite disturbing durich the soundcheck. As there was a beach volleyball field filled with sand directly before the stage, the audience preffered to watch from the distance. kids were playing in the sand. all in sum a nice atmosphere.

The suport act, Julian Heidenreich, started at 7 pm and played around 25 minutes. Julian was already support act of Heather at the german concert of the Redbird Tour in autumn 2005.

After his show, most of the people went back to the pool, watching a little show of a stuntman.

Heather and band started then at 8 pm. They played a complete set, about 90 minutes long. The song selection was similar to the those of the Redbird Tour.

The setlist: Maybe An Angel / Heart And Shoulder / Motherland / Redbird / I Wanna Be Your Light / Walk This World / I Miss My Sky / Winterblue / Done Drifting / London Rain / Island / All I Need / Just Been Born / Someone New / Make You Mine Encore: Fool For You / Sugar

Next Heather Nova concert: monday, July 31, 2006, Poolbar Festival ("Altes Hallenbad"), Feldkirch, Austria

Heather Nova started her six concert summer tour today in Tienen, Belgium at Suikerrock festival. "Suiker" is the Dutch word for "Sugar", as Tienen is famous for its sugar production. Of course, Heather didn't forget to play the song Sugar in Tienen.

The setlist: Maybe An Angel / Heart And Shoulder / Motherland / Redbird / Walk This World / Winterblue / Done Drifting / London Rain / Island / All I Need / Sugar . The songs Winterblue and Done Drifting were merged together and played without a break in between.

The two songs Someone New and Make You Mine were on the setlist right before Sugar, but unfortunately not played, because the concert started a bit later than scheduled and therefore the setist had to be shortened.

Notable was that Laurie Jenkins, the supposed drummer on this tour, skipped the Heather Nova summer tour, because he had to work right now with Howie Day in Indiana (http://lauriejenkins.blogspot.com/), and was replaced with Danish drummer Nikolaj Bjerre (http://www.nikbeat.com/), who did his job well.

The weather was sunny at 27°C, attendance approx. 3.500 to 4.000 people.
