EWA IN THE UK (4)

Just a very quick update tonight on the ticketing information re the UK dates -
Further info and tickets can be purchased here -

http://thebetterhalf.5k20server.info/

Unfortunately it's all written in Polish but it's easy enough to navigate.
At the moment it's looking fairly unlikely that i will be able to attend any of the shows as it's really too late now for me to make the necessary arrangements.

Further information as and when.

WE INVITE YOU! 

It still doesn't confirm that it's the full band so we can only assume that it is?
As it's a niteclub we can also assume that it will not be an all ages event and that it will be over 18's only.

EWA IN THE UK (3)



OK Folks..here goes.
Firstly i apologise for not really being able to find out a lot more info about the shows to share with you here but i've tried...believe me....i've tried!

I've still had no response from either EwaFarna.pl or EwaFarna.cz despite several enquires i've made to them for information.

Re: London......I've had no reply from the venue.  It's still not listed on the venue's site as a forthcoming event.  None of the ticket agents i tried around London have any knowledge of it.  I've still, therefore, got no idea of how, when or where to get tickets for it.

Re:  Nottingham...I have been able to find out a little about this one but not much.  The venue doesn't have a webpage but from their Facebook page it appears to be either a Polish themed cafe or a cafe that specialises in Polish food.  It doesn't appear to be a very large venue?  From what i can gather there are no tickets available for this one.  What you have to do is to give your name to a local hairdressers (and no i'm not making this up!).  Whether this guarantees you a place or not i don't know?

Re:  Preston.....Similar story to London i'm afraid.  The venue have not responded to me, the show is not listed on their (really hard to navigate) website so no further info is known at this point?

Generally i still don't know if it's the full band or just Ewa appearing at either or all of the shows.  I don't know if any/all are all age events or over 18's only.

There is a new poster (see above) and i can't understand at all why it's written in Polish?  Do the organisers really think that the casual passerby in London will see it and know what 'Kupno Biletow i informacje' means??  This is the opportunity for non Polish/Czech nationals to see Ewa in the UK so i would have thought it would have made sense to at least have the promotional material available in English?

At the moment it looks very likely that i will be unable to attend any of the shows which, for me, is hugely disappointing.  I don't know where to get a ticket so can't proceed to make any sort of arrangements to get to London unless i'm 100% sure that it's actually going to happen?

Before i forget, there is a telephone number on the above poster which i presume is for more information. I've tried to call the number numerous times.  It's either constantly engaged or no one answers??

It may sound like i'm a little frustrated?  That's because i am.  Promotion wise i feel that, so far, the whole thing is a complete shambles.  With less that a month to go there is just very little information out there.
I'm actually deeply embarrassed that Ewa Farna UK can't bring you full coverage of Ewa in the UK. I simply can't report on things i don't know.

I will of course keep on trying and as soon/if i know anything further i'll report it here or on the Facebook page.

P.S.  Similar story with the Dublin show.  The venue have not responded.

EWA IN THE UK (2)

Promo poster for the UK dates.

 
I'm still struggling to find anywhere, including the venues themselves, that have tickets for sale for any of the shows?
Further info as and when.

EWA IN THE UK

At last i can finally confirm the news that we have all been waiting for for all these years.

She's coming to the UK!!
I couldn't be happier.  I never thought that she would come, ever, but i'm more than glad to say i was wrong.

I'll do my best to give as many details as i can.  I have contacted both the PL and the Cze Official sites for some more information but as per usual they have not responded.
There are 3 dates, so far, confirmed in the UK.

1. 13//02/2014 - Arista Bar, London, England......at 9pm...ticket price is £20.

http://www.aristabar.com/contact.html

2.  14/02/2014 - The Better Half, Nottingham, England....at 10pm....ticket price is £25.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Better-Half/589271517770191

This venue doesn't appear to have an Official site?

3.  15/02/2014 - Rumes Nightclub, Preston, England........at 10pm.......ticket prices £20/£30.

http://rumesnightclub.wix.com/rumes#!__page-0/events

At the moment none of the venues have posted any details of the shows and i've checked numerous ticket agents but once again i can't find any details of where to purchase tickets.  Any further info i can find will be updated as soon as possible.

At the moment i can't confirm if she will be bringing the full band with her?  I expect she will but can't confirm.

So this is it....our opportunity to get out in force and support Ewa in the UK.  Finally.
Let's turn up in numbers and show her what she means to us.
I hope to attend the show in London and will provide a full report on it after the event.

I'll update when/if i receive any further confirmed details on the events.

ON PRIDE, SELF RESPECT AND DIGNITY



Not just an excuse to slip some Deacon Blue into the Blog.  There's never a bad time for a bit of Deacon Blue.
I'm angry tonight.  And disappointed.  VERY disappointed.
I try my very best at all times not to criticise Ewa.  I really do.  But sometimes a little bit of criticism is justified?  You probably won't agree but right now i really don't care.
So what's got me so riled?
This, which appeared today from the X Factor set i think -


One of the many things i love about Ewa is that she has always resisted the temptation to remove her clothing in order to sell some CD's.  She's not Doda and thankfully she's not Miley Cyrus.
So i wish someone could explain to me what this is all about?
It's cheap.  It's nasty and it's certainly not the Ewa that i know and love.
A lot of it, i believe is down to those dirtyfingers style 'people' she seems to be using more and more frequently.  But she's a grown woman now and should have the common sense to say no.
What sort of example is a picture like this going to set to the thousands and thousands of teenage girls that that look up to her?  
Is this an acceptable way to dress on national television?  No it isn't not by a very long way.

I'm sorry Ewa.  But JUST NO :-(

NEW YEARS EVE 2013

This year Ewa played in the town of Bialystok (and no i'm not going to even attempt to say that!!) in Poland on New Years Eve.  It's up near to the border with Belarus (i think) and it looked to be pretty chilly.
You can find a great photo set and some video footage here -

http://www.poranny.pl/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20140101/BIALYSTOK/140109996

A lot of the video footage isn't all that great so far unfortunately.  Blogger is doing it's usual, really annoying, can't find any of the Youtube links at the moment but there but there is lots of clips from the show available there.

CHRISTMAS IN FARNATOWN.




Ewa has been feeling all festive this Christmas by lending her voice to a themed album which includes some other artists attached to the Magic Records label in Poland.
It's a Charity thing i think.
Here's a couple of videos of two of the songs from the album.
Anyone who knows me personally will know that it takes a lot more than this to make me feel all Christmassy  but they are both fairly pleasant and charming songs.
Sorry the video boxes are different sizes and look untidy.  I tried to fix it.  I really did.
