Brendan Perry has finally scheduled a gig vaguely close to our home, 35 km from here, to be precise.
It’s at the Summer Darkness festival in Utrecht on 13th August, a date that will require some planning to meet, given that it’s in the middle of the school summer holiday.
The concert will be in the Domkerk, a church that should provide a paradoxically fitting atmosphere for Perry’s existential musings.
The festival organisers have taken the unusual, but very welcome step of issuing single performance tickets for his show. Usually, you’d require a day ticket or a whole festival ticket to attend, but it’s now possible to pay for and see only Brendan’s gig, which is a terrific concession to his fans. I wonder if the artist had anything to do with this arrangement. If so, it could mean that no other gigs are planned for this country, so it’s a case of seizing the opportunity now, for there may not be another.
I have recently come across your blog Ian and found it very interesting 🙂 Enjoy the show!
