July 2006
I believe that if I could invent any magical creature to be in a faerie tale...it would be the firefly. To sit and bask in the warms breezes blowing off the water and watch them spreading their magic and glowing and then in the blink of an eye they are gone again, only to appear moment later somewhere else as they travel in flight lighting their own way through the darkness...how incredible.. When you see a meadow with these mystical beings flying across it... it is entrancing... but to see just one is magic enough... It still takes my breath away...
This month we travel to Germany once again... to old familiar faces and new ones... to the spirits that lay within the castles walls to be brought alive and dance to the music. And yet, some of the reasons it saddens me to leave home lie here... And yet...there are thousands of reasons to leave ...like these.

The 2nd leg of our European tour begins this month! We will be playing some incredible places throughout Germany through July and August. Here are just a few of the places we'll be performing:

For more information on our tour schedule, check the Blackmore's Night tour page.

And don't forget that a portion of the proceeds go to the WWF to help the Orangutans of Borneo before they become extinct. Even if you are not in the areas where we are playing, please check out the WWF and help these incredible creatures. Their habitat is being torn away from them and they are being killed off by heartless humans. Show them that we do care and we can make a difference. www.wwf.org Click here to see the interview that I did for the plight of the orangutans for WWF.
