Antwerp Sings 2006

Yesterday evening was the ninth edition of "Antwerp Sings". Whether your are a tenor or a soprano, whether you can sing or are completely tone deaf, everyone was welcome to this yearly Antwerpian singing fest.

No artists on stage, just a bunch of people creating a nice ambiance and giving the crowd, 30.000 according to the organisers, the good example. The crowd is the star of the night, singing mostly very well-known Flemish and English songs. The general idea of the event is that everyone sings from the top of their lungs.. and so they did, guided by the lyrics everyone received in print.

This is the third time in a row that I joined in. The weather during my first two times was absolutely horrible. This year, however, it couldn't be better. My head hurts, my voice sounds like a rusty watertap, but hey, I had a jolly good time together with my friends. The party went on until a little bit past midnight, after which we unfortunately had to return home. There's an extra edition on September 8th for charity. Who knows, perhaps I'll join in if I can find some other crazy voices to accompany me ...
