KARAOKE EWA?

I'm going to be, perhaps a little harsh here and a little controversial.  But as about 2 people are probably going to read this post it probably doesn't really matter that much.

When I read that Ewa was to appear at a Festival in the Czech Republic with the likes of Slipknot I was a little concerned.

How would a large audience who where there for Slipknot react to Ewa?  I hoped that it wouldn't be in a negative manner although I feared that it might.

Let's be honest for a moment.  Ewa hasn't been even close to anything like a 'Rock Star' for a very long time.  Obviously, when she first started in the business that was what she looked like she was going to become.  That changed and the direction she is heading now is far removed from that.  Losing Martin and not replacing him with another guitarist moved her even further away from that perception.  We'll say no more about the Jazz or the Rap.

If that's what she wants to do, obviously, that is her choice.  That's not to say that some of her recent output hasn't been fantastic as it has but some, for me anyway, hasn't been great.  

So having watched a little bit of footage from this event (I've not watched it all) I'm a little confused?  Who exactly is this girl who's performing like she hasn't performed in about 15 years?  Nope, I don't know either.

If she has faith and confidence in what's she's doing now what is this all about?  

It's play acting, pretending,  being something she's not any longer and I don't like it. 

So finally - WILL THE REAL EWA FARNA PLEASE STAND UP.

EWA AT THE BBC.

Well now this was a surprise.  No not the 2 posts in one day but this.

Ewa's duet with Dua Lipa gets a mention here in the UK on the BBC'c European news segment.

Probably the first time ever.  The only time I can recall anyway.

More good news for us fans here in the UK and much needed publicity.  Long may it continue.

One thing I would like to comment on is this.

I've been doing this now for 16 years.  Doing whatever I can to promote Ewa here in the UK and other English speaking territories.

Maybe now (fingers crossed) after all these years, her management will take some notice and maybe will give me some sort of support and help.  I've asked countless times over the years and got nothing.

Hopefully now that will change.

A DUET WITH DUA

First I have a small confession to make.

I'm a 61 year old man and I know virtually nothing about Dua Lipa.  I've heard of her but if my life depended on it I couldn't name even one of her songs.

What I do know is that she is a major superstar here in the UK and throughout most of the known word.

Anyway what apparently happened was that she was performing in Prague for at least two nights and Ewa attended one of her concerts.  

What Dua does (which is actually really good) is to pick a  local song from a local artist to sing at her shows.

In Prague she choose Na Ostri Noze which we all know and love.  She didn't know that Ewa was in the audience but was told, met her afterwords and agreed that the next night she would join her on stage to perform it together.

Above is that performance.  This was about the best quality video I could find for it.

Turned out pretty well in my opinion.

Question now is that can this open some doors for Ewa internationally.

Fingers crossed it does.  Watch this space.
