Gigs at minus 10 degrees...
2010/12/20 ... well, to play a gig at -10 degrees is not the best idea for the hornssection. After 5 minutes at the soundcheck, Isabella and Sophia were frozen. Big thanks goes to the wireless technology; the hornssection played the gig in the warm backstage area! Was great! :-)
