Un lugar realmente bonito en el que tocar. Ha sido una experiencia única (bueno, espero que no sea literalmente única). Nos hemos sentido durante un rato como si fuéramos de verdad estrellas del rock. Al llegar, teníamos sitio reservado en el lateral del teatro para aparcar nuestros coches y bajar todos los trastos cómodamente e introducirlos al teatro. Como es lógico, esa entrada lateral da paso directamente al escenario, pero en ese momento, que íbamos cargados con un ampli o dos guitarras o lo que fuera, no esperábamos encontrarnos de repente en medio del escenario delante del patio de butacas y los palcos de un precioso teatro. Y piensas, "vaya, voy a tocar aquí".
El técnico del teatro era un tío muy majo e hizo un trabajo estupendo, pero además nosotros contábamos con Raúl, batería de nuestros amigos Singapore Fish y profesional de estas cuestiones sonoras, y eso es siempre una garantía de que todo va a sonar bien.
Lamentablemente, y uso esta palabra porque el motivo del concierto era recaudar fondos para una causa solidaria, no hubo demasiado público, bien es cierto que el día frío y desapacible no invitaba a salir de casa.
Hay que mencionar de manera especial a Ana, miembro de la Asociación Palentina con el Pueblo Saharaui, que estuvo en todo momento pendiente de nosotros y nos trató estupendamente. ¡Muchas gracias por todo, Ana!
A really beautiful place to play at. It has been an unforgettable experience. We have felt a little bit as if we were real music stars. As we arrived, we found that parking space had been reserved for us next to the side entrance of the theatre, so that we could comfortably download all the gear and take it in. Obviously, that side entrance leads straight to the stage, but at that moment, busy as we were carrying this amp or that guitar or whatever, you didn't expect to find yourself all of a sudden in the middle of a stage in front of the stalls and box seats of a gorgeous theatre. And you think, 'Wow!, I'm playing here'.
The sound technician in the house was a very nice guy and he did a great job, but we also had Raúl, drummer of our friends Singapore Fish and a professional sound technician, and that's always a guarantee that everything is going to run smoothly.
Unfortunately, and I use this word because the concert was aimed to raise money for a cause of solidarity, there was not a large audience. However, to tell the truth, the cold, disagreeable weather didn't invite people to leave the comfort of their homes and drop in.
We shouldn't forget to mention Ana, member of Palencia Association for Saharan People, who looked after us all through the evening and was so very very nice. Thanks for everything, Ana!
