The first Concert of "Charlie Bell & The Icemen" went very well and was well attended as far as concerts go for that area. There were over 100 in attendance, we sold several "special edition" CD's and had 10 pre-orders for the full CD at 20 € a pop.
One of the organizers/workers of the facility told my Manager that they have had some big name Finnish stars to give concerts at that hall a with an attendance of 10 to 50 people. Having over 100 was a very successful event.
The producer had been sick right before Easter and was behind his schedule about 3 days so the full CD was not ready. He made the decision to do a special edition of 4 songs for 10€. If a person pre-ordered for the full CD they took their names to mail it to them and gave the special edition for free. This special edition was for that concert only and will not be available for any other concert - maybe as a promotion for getting future gigs, but not for general population. So right from the start, the Lord has created this "special" thing. I hear "eBay auction"; right up there with "a pork chop half eaten by Elvis" (smile)...
The other detail that the Lord saw fit to take care of was for this 1st concert, the color for the hall is PURPLE!!! my favorite color. And of course I wore purple for the concert...
There have been many news articles - I can't even keep up with them now.I also found out that I have been "googled" Do a search on Charlie Bell and the Icemen and hits will come up (in Finnish of course) of concert dates, locations, and articles. I even have a blurb in the Blues News Magazine publication - a big deal here in Finland
It's getting warmer and staying lighter much longer (6 am to about 9:30 pm). We have started our last 6-week school period. School is finished by June 2nd. The rest of the summer will be traveling for concerts and sightseeing.
Hope all is well with everyone. Have a blessed week.
