Bus - Fredericton To Boston



We've had this year, the honor of opening the programming of Getxo Folk Festival. And not one either, but the 25 edition. Is not the first time we participate in a festival in its 25th year, since in July of last year we also the Silver Jubilee of the Folk Segovia.


You know we love to get closer to the north where there is occasion. But it also was a real pleasure to be part of the festival programming. And, if something of note is the excellence of the people working on the task of Getxo Folk is a success. First, in terms of organization. Everyone knows what to do, and what is better, it does, and get everything to be perfect, from first to last detail. And besides that, the treatment given to all the musicians is exquisite and wonderful. So step out there becomes a real pleasure and a most pleasant experience. Congratulations to all of them.
The trip was a bit shabby. I mean we were the 7 into 4 different vehicles. And the mayor is so peculiar when circumstances require.
Pili, Miguel Angel and I arrived Justito by our side at the time of vermouth, and after parking the van in the store for this site right next to the tent (what a delight ...) we headed to find a bar that had a good tapas bar full of good, mmmmm ....



Finding the bar ....

... there!

pintxitos And after we met Carlos and Jesus to eat. Pilpil delicious cod and a good Irish coffee preceded to job.


cod The photo was late. I was there ...


Here's some point in the sound test.






Carp still empty at the start of the test.










Miguel Angel doing an interview for local television.



I do not know what I would tell Miguel Angel, but it seems that Julian and Chema pretend to "yes, eh?"


"This is what we play."


Someone had fun looking at things from another point of view:








The concert was great The tent full of people very attentive and appreciative. He must like it much, judging by the applause and nearly 50 albums that sold them.


And at the end and finish the show, again forced circumstances ... Jesus and Carlos went whistling to Zaragoza, Chema Ju and stayed to continue enjoying the festival and the North, and Pili, Miguel Angel and I still we take a straw to relax a bit before going back also.


I said, a pleasure to have passed through Getxo Folk.
