Paradiso, Amsterdam, the NetherlandsNovember 15th 2005
Fish
In the Amsterdam rock temple of Paradiso a mixed crowd had gathered at the doors. Young and old had come to witness the concert and DVD recordings of today’s show in the ‘Misplaced Childhood Tour’ of Scottish singer, poet, actor and entertainer Fish. It was the second of three concerts in the Netherlands and with the DVD recordings in a monumental venue this promised to be one of those special nights.

Dynamo, Eindhoven, the NetherlandsNovember 13th 2005
Erocktica, SQY Rocking Team
It's the end of the Sunday afternoon when Dynamo slowly fills up with men and women, though the women are hugely outnumbered. Rough music up ahead? No not really. Tonight there will be a show of the erotic rock band Erocktica and it seems like all the curious people who knew about the concert wanted to come have a look. We had a look over their shoulder, this is what we saw.

Sinead O'Connor and Sly & Robbie
This Line-up was promising an extraordinary concert, featuring Sinead O’Connor and Sly&Robbie. Anyone should have heard about Sinead O’Connor due to her hit from 1990 “Nothing compares 2U”. She is touring now until end of February through big and small concert halls all over the world with her second album released this year “Thrown down your arms”. This album impresses with good Dub, Roots-Reggae and dance hall sound.

Escape, Veenendaal, The Netherlands12th November 2005
Autumn, The Legion of Hetheria, Auracle
A round building is the centre for some goth metal fans on this dark Saturday night. Outside the Escape there is already a meeting: some familiar faces are waiting for the doors to open. Soon there is a good atmosphere. Some people are disappointed that they can’t smoke inside, but still the excitement is there. Auracle will play their second gig and many people are curious to see them. A good package, nice people: for sure it will be a nice evening.

Terra Gotha, Arsenaal, Vlissingen, the NetherlandsOctober 29th 2005
Clan of Xymox, Funker Vogt, Angels & Agony Misery, Zadera, Swarf
Just 100m from the sea, right next to the yacht harbour of Vlissingen there is a big amusement complex called ‘het Arsenaal’. With many halls, rooms and even an arcade hall it's the centre for Vlissingen's youth. But right next to al the flashing and beeping games there is this nicely styled theatre, home to the Terra Gotha festival of October 2005. Seven bands were booked for this edition, unfortunately we had to wait for the guestlist to arrive so we had to miss the first band of the day. But there was plenty left to see. Entering the main hall with its chandeliers and red walls this seemed to be the perfect place for this stylish gothic event.
