April 25th 2004 - Concert in Norway Sorry about the lack of updates lately, but I have been busy moving, and have been without Internet access for some time. Next weekend there will be two St. Thomas concerts in Norway before the UK tour starts, these will take place in Kvinesdal on Friday and in Egersund on Saturday. The concert in Egersund is actually being paid for by me personally, so if people want to take a trip to the musical mekka of Norway on Saturday, I - and my wallet to be totally honest - would appreciate it a lot. Egersund is located an hour south of Stavanger, and the concert will start pretty early, so there are good chances for people to get back home in time for a good night's sleep, if they so desire. Tickets cost 150 kroner and also include additional Irish live-music later in the night for those interested in that. You should be able to reserve tickets by calling Roar at Amadeus, phone number 51493180, or buy them at the door. Both these concerts plus the UK tour will feature a band consisting of Thomas and Alex. Make sure you catch them on the road if you get a chance to, just look out for a red Dodge with two strange Norwegian cowboys! April 3rd 2004 - Shock departure The St. Thomas world is left in shock and disbelief after Trung Toan Tong, who was Thomas' personal favorite to win the program, was voted out of the Norwegian version of Idol last night. Even with the SMS-votes of Mr. Hansen, this 'funny clown' did not manage to secure his spot amongst the final six contestants. Even though Thomas' constant talking about Idol both during concerts and to the media might be frowned upon by fellow artists, we dare to assume that everyone else also watch the program every week and have their own personal favorites. They just choose not to talk about it. Unlike Thomas, who went to America to play at the South By Southwest festival, and the biggest news coverage he got was the revelation that votes on Idol contestants. April 1st 2004 - Concert list updated The concerts list has been updated with a setlist from the concert at Blindern in Oslo recently, thanks to Henning for the info. Also, information about recordings that have been done of concerts has been added to all the concerts it applies to, but only the 2004 shows so far. If you know of a show that has been taped, feel free to send me an e-mail and let me know about it. And remember that St. Thomas supports fans taping his concerts, so if you are going to a St. Thomas concert then feel free to bring along your recording equipment! |
