ANNEKE VAN GIERSBERGEN, DANNY CAVANAGH Team Up For One-Off Dutch Concert; Video Available

January 16, 2008

Former THE GATHERING and current AGUA DE ANNIQUE singer Anneke van Giersbergen has issued the following update:

"Last weekend, we played our very first festival with AGUA DE ANNIQUE! And not just any festival... we played the Noorderslag fest in Groningen, Holland. Here's where all 'hip and happening' Dutch bands play in front of an eager audience and many people from the biz. We were very pleased to be there!

"And so we are moving on in 2008... We played a very new song called 'My Town' in Groningen and we are prepping a few more to expand our live set.

"The year started of in a fantastic way when Joris and I were joined by my lovely friend Danny Cavanagh [ANATHEMA] and played the Little Devil Club in Tilburg, Holland [on January 2, 2008]. We had no time for a proper rehearsal, but there was some magic in the air that night I guess. Thank you to those of you who came to see us, Danny and Joris and also Paul and LD for having us.

"I have written a bunch of new tunes for the next album already and we will hop into the studio one of these months to make a nice and relaxed start. But first we'll play the clubs and festivals in Holland and abroad. The Dutch festival season is traditionally opened by the great Paaspop festival and we will be playing there on March 22nd."
