Hey Christine,
I’m not sure what Marcel wrote, but we were so happy to see him at the festival! He came to 2 sets and danced at maximum energy for both!! It’s lovely to know we have friends and supporters in Bern. Our newest friend is an artist called Nathan who lives in the old town. He ended up backstage with us at the Buskerhaus and I’m already wondering how we might be able to collaborate.
I’m sure you have a flood of messages like this at this time, but well done!!! Well done to you, Julie, Stefan, Illana, Felix and all of the Buskers family for pulling it off again!! It was so lovely to be back, we made loads of friends and had some more unforgettable experiences. When we had a spare minute during the festival, we would often remark at how amazing it was to see such a beautiful city made even more beautiful thanks to you, the team, the people of Bern and all of the amazing artists you’ve gathered on your travels.
From an artistic standpoint, Bern was so valuable to us. We got to workshop the live show in a completely unique way, tweaking our performances and forcing us to get better. It has also brought our team, which I feel is already quite strong, even closer together and sparked so many ideas and ambitions.
I know the rule is that you only get to come twice, but one way or another we will be back, either as festival enjoyers or under a new name.…we’ll find a way!!!
For now, I wish you and the team a well deserved rest once all of the final bits and pieces are wrapped up, and I hope to see you either in London, Switzerland or another beautiful place somewhere in the world.
Loads of Buffalo love and because we can’t say it enough: THANKS!!
Jake, Jake, Nuno, Stevie, James, Joe, Harrison, Jimmy, Eilidh, Sinead and Emma
