Procol Harum in Berlin, Germany - the Aftershow Party by SormoRock 

 

Spirit of SormoRock, in collaboration with the A Whiter Shade of Pale FaceBook page team, had planned a party with live music after the Procol Harum concert in Berlin on September 9th 2017, and occasion to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the band.


 

 

Berlin, the capital of mainland Europe and the home base of Spirit of SormoRock, needs no introduction. Reaching the city from anywhere in the world, by plane or train, is extremely easy and moving trough it, thanks from the extremely developed public transportation, equally simple.

The 9th of September is a Saturday and underground (called U-Bahn and S-Bahn) remains in operation all night during weekends, so there will be no need to worry about catching the last train home or to the hotel.

 

Procol Harum performed at the historical 1700 seater theatre Admiralspalast from 20.00, after the show is over the fans headed to restaurant Casa Italia, just across the bridge, only 250 meters from Admiralspalast, in whose beautiful foyer Spirit of SormoRock once again unleashed the sound of the music we love while the fans can share an unique opportunity to meet each other and enjoy their love for the music of Procol Harum over some good German beer or a true Italian meal.

 

  

At Casa Italia, Spirit of SormoRock performed a selection of songs spanning the whole 50 years of the Procol Harum repertoire while the fans had a chance to socialise and have a great night with each other. For the hungry ones, the staff provided ample opportunities to eat and drinks, from the notorious German beers to the best of Italian wines, will be available at the bar.

   

Shine on and to the next 50 years!
