Long before the opening of the concert hall, a long queue formed. To attend this concert, a valid covid-19 certificate for vaccination or disease or a negative test result no later than 24 hours prior to the event was required.
The people I met at the concert were different – many from Latvia, who currently live in Great Britain, but there were also those who came to listen to the “Brainstorm” concert even from Latvia, because while there are restrictions here, there are no concerts in Great Britain.
Andrejs, a Latvian living in Great Britain, said: “This is November 18 and it is a more special feeling than other times. Especially because it’s not at home in Latvia, and “Brainstorm” is very much associated with me at home. “
The participants of the “Brainstorm” themselves do not deny – the concerts in Great Britain are special because they are extremely emotional.
“People say it themselves, they come to a small piece of Latvia – to capture the feeling of their home in our concerts,” says the group’s soloist. Renārs Kaupers.
The musicians say that they call on Latvians living in Great Britain to respect their country and the Latvian language.
Group member Maris Michelsons says that at one of the concerts held in Great Britain, she met a nice girl, who told her that she has a daughter, who unfortunately does not speak Latvian. “Please correct this misunderstanding and honor our people!” – says the musician.
At the end of the concert, the enthusiastic fans in London literally wore Renārs Kaupers with the Latvian flag on their hands. The Brainstorm also had to return to the stage several times.
