Wojtek and I went on Wednesday night to see Melody Gardot perform at the Quatsch Comedy Club here in Berlin. It was a great performance, but unfortunately too short! She started 30 minutes late, and this was not the kind of show where there is an opening band and other distractions, this was all her. And then she played a set that lasted just under an hour! All for 24 Euros. I was a tad dissapointed. But then again, who knows what the hold up was, and I am not about to jump to conclusions. It was a good set anyways, and Melody is truely talented! Her first song was a capella, which showcased her talents well. And my other favorite was a piece she did solo on her guitar (I can’t remember the title, and it’s not on her new album). The price of the tickets really did surprise me for someone with a budding career, and on her first tour, but then again, she couldn’t have been appreciated in any of the other cheaper Berlin venues. Tickets per show are around 12 Euros, but it would have been the wrong audience for her. So all in all, it was worth it, and I am glad I could in a small way, support her budding career!
