Tarja Turunen - RAW Tour 2022 - Support: Serpentyne and Abakas

For the first time in nearly three years I got to go touring again around Europe. This time around I took a WizzAir flight to Sofia to do the merchandise and photography for SERPENTYNE on the TARJA TURUNEN Raw Tour around Eastern Europe. Many photos were taken of the scenery too as I spent two weeks in a van traipsing around getting cramps, being in close quarters with other humans for five or six hours at a time and dealing with the stress of late nights and early mornings but where a routine established itself.

It feels surreal to be hovering near a shelf full of Star Wars figures, in a record store in the middle of Huddersfield watching RHOMBUS, but that is exactly where I find myself on a Saturday afternoon in October. It’s national album day and music giants, HMV, are hosting gigs in their stores across the UK. RHOMBUS was formed in 2003 by Edward Grassby (vocals and base) and Rob Walker (drums and percussion). Their eclectic style of music has amassed a following across Britain, Europe. The current line-up is Edward, Rob, Alixandrea Corvyn (additional vocals) and Lee Talbot (drums). The band are here to promote Their latest album: ‘The Longest Day.’

Porcupine Tree - “Closure / Continuation.” Tour 2022

You can safely call this a sensation: after twelve years, the new album ‘Closure / Continuation’ by PORCUPINE TREE was released. The first track was already available on all major streaming platforms before. ‘Harridan’ makes it easy to re-enter the world and the sound of the British. The eight-minute trip sums up a lot that defines PORCUPINE TREE and their music that transcends all borders - but of course not everything. Because how should the enormous wealth of ideas of guitarist and singer Steven Wilson, keyboardist Richard Barbieri and drummer Gavin Harrison be fully developed in just one piece?

When I arrived at Christuskirche in Bochum at 19:00 there was a very long line of fans waiting for the doors of the church to be opened. Christuskirche is a unique church that served as a special venue for many well-known artists like MYLES KENNEDY, ASP, LORD OF THE LOST and many more played unique sets here.
