Great concert - appreciated by few

When I cecked the highlights of the upcoming week in our paper last sunday I found a name I remembered from 2 famous festivals: #Ally-the-fiddle. This violin player has long hair - down to her knees - and plays at a really mad speed on her instrument. She has played on huges stages all over Europe - and was now giving a concert with her own band in our youth centre! Well, the only times I visited the youth center was collecting our daughters, but this time had to go on my own.

It was a very wise decicion as it was a fantastic concert with real musicians, not just playing instruments, but having a rock show on stage. Unfortunately this concert was far from sold out, but the band played as if the place was packed. During the concert we learned, that Ally plays a new, special violin - this one has 5 instead of 4 strings. That means, she had to learn all songs new to play on it!
