How much Paganism can you get into 4 suitcases?
This is us packing our bags for the EPIC trip to the USA (west coast) to go forth and show the lovely people at Faerieworlds in Oregon what real European PaganFolk sounds like! BUT… what to take to the land of the free?
How much time would we like to spend convincing the US customs that we really are just musicians who just want to play our music of Nature, Paganism and Life? We don't want to make it too difficult for them (they have to deal with my head and ritual tattoos already and that can be quite shocking for the unprepared)…
So…What do we leave behind?… Gosh?… We're taking along just the irreplaceable unique instruments to be able to play our Paganfolk… (Daphyd's didge, my flutes and 1 bouzouki, Jenny's special bodhran) we're keeping it to an absolute minimum though because we're traveling without our crew and everything has to be carried on and off the plane (BUT I hear the weather in Oregon is hot and sunny, so I'm not even taking any clothes with me …and as it is my birthday when we get to America, I'll simply walk around in my "birthday suit" with just a loincloth or something)…
We'll be borrowing loads of stuff to put on a proper PAGANFOLKROCK show from the AMAZINGLY SWEET people of Faerieworlds and especially the people from WOODLAND are helping us out with soooo much support and assistance in getting us there! We can even borrow instruments such as a Harp, piano, drum kit etc. from them… we just take ourselves and our banner plus an extra helping of our attitude to celebrate the good life with the audience there! (we'll keep you updated with the progress of our adventure as we travel to the other side of the globe … no sea too wide, no mountain too high.. we travel where our fans are, because we do this for YOU!!
Respect, Pagan Peace and Greenthingz!
XXX Shaman SteveSic, Jenny, Daphyd and Rob flying out to meet you…
