QOTD November 18 2014
November 18th, 2014 on 21:56Angus & Julia Stone in Concert!!
November 17th, 2014 on 23:47For years I have been wanting to see Angus & Julia Stone (a brother and sister) performing live. I really got into their music in 2011 and still remember finding out just days after the concert date (May 17. 2011) that they would play in Oslo, which I missed. Even worse, they stopped performing together shortly after, so my chances of seeing them live reduced to 0. Or so I thought…well, things changed for the good; they are back together, released a new album this summer and…performed in Oslo tonight!! A magical show…FAN-TAS-TIC! 🙂
