translation by Astrid Nolde-Gallasch Not only sparkler music Chris de Burgh on the Hutbergbühne / Irish folk rock singer invites to Kamenz at the end of August On 29th August, just after the "Kamenzer Forstfest" another top artist will be on the Hutberg-stage. Before the big final of the season with oldie fm festival on September 13, rock bard Chris de Burgh will work on the boards... Chris de Burgh, sometimes soft, more often rocking pop bard, travels with his band for sound support to Kamenz on 29th August. "Timing Is Everything" is the name of Chris de Burgh's new album. It means that you should always be at the right time at the right place and just have to take advantage from this time in order to say - that's exactly what I wanted. It is often said that de Burgh is a soft rocker and that there are people who fall asleep while he plays. The visitors of the only concert in Saxonia will be able to find out themselves if that is right. Since over a year the concerts of the Irishman are a rock show with some ballads. "I think people forget that I also had hits like 'High On Emotion'. They only want to think of 'Lady In Red'. I love to write love songs, but I also love to write exciting rock songs", said Chris de Burgh after the start of his tour last month in Berlin. Techno music isn't pleasant for the ears of de Burgh, but he doesn't condemn it. During an interview he once said: "It is people at computers, who create this music that way. It doesn't come from the heart, has nothing to do with emotional songs. They are just 126 beats per minute that make you dance. But that is so important like toilet paper, which is quite important for certain things..." Meanwhile the lyricist, composer and arranger produced 17 albums with 150 songs. His attempt to create them differently didn't always succeed. De Burgh rather wanted to have a combination of different things in one album. "When you only sing ballads, people fall asleep. That's why I find it important to also have rock songs next to ballads on a record. Rock'n Roll for me is one of the most beautiful and original music styles." It's no coincidence that in the middle of his performance he sings "In the Ghetto" barbershop style. "To sing Elvis means to learn singing", he says and means it. At the end of his concerts de Burgh and his band back fully on emotions, packed in excellent guitar sounds and hammering drums. The charmer doesn't have any star allures. At home in Ireland he loves to be with his family, to bring his three children to school and get fresh bread himself in the morning. There will be something for everybody on 29th August in Kamenz: Love songs, sparkler music and real rock'n roll. Tickets for the concert are available in all SZ centers, also in the Kamenzer, Theaterstr. 3; also at the Kamenzer town info for the price of 32 Euro. |
