THE ALVARET ENSEMBLE LIVE IN JANUARY #2

Apart from the snow while travelling by van, The Alvaret Ensemble had a good first small tour. From the Prague-show with Hauschka you can find some great pics here, a nice Czech review here and a radio interview with Jan and Greg here.
Budapest was pretty awesome too and on the Facebook page of the Akvárium Klub you can find some pics. For those who wondered where the secret show in Munich was, it was at Carlos Cipa's place. Full house! The Essen-show at the Weststadthalle was filmed completely. Don't know if the footage will reach the internet, but stay tuned...

Last but not least it was a true pleasure to play and visit the Ambient Fest in Cologne. Meeting all the other musicians and sharing the stage with Insa Donja Kai and Lubomyr Melnik... All cool. Check the video by Dmitry Zakharov, featering a bit of The Alvaret Ensemble.
We thank all of you that came to the shows. Keep an eye on 'the alvarets' through their facebook page and/or Romke's. In March the band will tour The Netherlands with the Cross Linx Fest. See ya.
