Grateful wishes from The Gathering The last couple of weeks the Gathering has been working non-stop trying to organize a benefit concert for Chile. As you probably know a massive earthquake hit Chile last February, and has cost the lives of many people and left many people homeless.
We are proud to announce that the Gathering will be playing in Teatro Caupolican, Santiago, Chile on April 11th 2010! Normally it would take months to put up a concert like this, but when we heard about the earthquake we immediately felt the need to do something to help. The Chilean people have always given us such a warm welcome and giving this special concert is the most natural and personal way for us to do something back. We hope to not only raise money for the people that are in need of help, but also to give some hope and strength to rebuild this beautiful country after such a natural disaster. It will also be the first time for our new vocalist Silje Wergeland, who joined the band for the latest album The West Pole to play in Chile. She is very happy to be part of this very special event & has also worked really hard to make this come true. In cooperation with “Chile ayuda” the money raised will be donated to Red Cross Chile to help the people in need after the damages from the earthquake. Presale tickets will be $ 7.000,- (pesos) and it is also possible to donate non-perishable food at the door. Tickets are available through www.ticketmaster.cl We are feeling so lucky we’re able to reach out a helping hand for people to rebuild their homes and lives again. So amigos, spread the word, come and join us and let’s create a beautiful evening together to help the people in need! Our very best The Gathering would like to give a BIG THANK YOU to our amazing crew, the promoter and our partners in Chile who have been and will all be working hard to get this together for the good cause.
Dear friends of Chile and around the world, The last days we’ve got a lot of questions about The Gathering playing a benefit concert in Chile. So we decided to give you all some info about this matter. Ever since we’ve heard about the earthquake and all the damages it caused in Chile, we immediately started talking about how we as a band can do anything to help. As you also probably know Chile has a special place in our hearts. All the 4 times we have played there we’ve been overwhelmed by the warm welcome and great enthusiasm for our music. This was also the reason we recorded the DVD “A noise severe” in Santiago and some of us have also spent holidays in Chile to discover this beautiful country even more. Chile is also the home country of our dear Gema, Renés girlfriend and an important member of The Gathering crew. We were in Greece the morning we heard about the earthquake. Gema immediately tried to reach her family, but due to the electricity cut off in Chile this was not possible. It was a very hard time for her and this also affected us all very much. Luckily she got hold of her family in the end finding they were safe, experiencing only material damages. Straight away we talked about possibilities of how we could give out something positive to the people of Chile in these hard times Playing music is what we do best (or at least we believe so;-) ) and this is something sincere and personal coming from our hearts. We discussed different possibilities to help and we all agreed playing a special concert there could not only raise money, but could also to give our beloved friends over there the strength and hope to rebuild their homes. At the moment we are putting all our effort into making this idea come true. We’ve asked our own crew and the promoter in Chile to help us and we got a big yes from everyone! What we can tell you so far is that we will give a benefit concert in Santiago. We hope very soon (date and place to be confirmed). The band, crew and promoter will all do this for free and the (small) ticket fee will be donated directly to people in need because of the earthquake damages. The benefit organization is still to be confirmed. As soon as we have more info about this we will let you know. Until then please be patient as we will be working hard to make this come true. We send our very best wishes to you all hoping you stay safe. Warm thoughts from Hans, René, Frank, Marjolein and Silje Dear people, We just arrived home from Greece, where we heard the terrible news. Hans, René, Frank, Marjolein & Silje. |
