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.
