Procol Harum at Bern, 29 April 2005

Celebrating a pair of fans' silver anniversary!

Margrit Buletti writes to BtP (July 2005):
Special treat for a special occasion: shortly after our silver wedding day, Procol Harum played in Berne, our home town, for the first time since decades ago. Which we thought were two good reasons to try to organise getting in touch with them in person. And we did succeed! We were really pleased to see that the entire band showed up in the hotel lobby for us only! Although their concert in front of 7,000 people at the Berne Arena was ahead of them, they felt totally at ease and were as funny as they could possibly be – the atmosphere was very relaxed and we had a good laugh, covering subjects such as the Swiss civil service, skiing in the Bernese Oberland or mosquito bites. What a truly memorable time we had; thank you, guys!
