I have to thank Pottel for introducing me to this music and we have just booked to see them in concert in Amsterdam at The Royal Theatre Carre on 11th March 2013!    :D

We have just had an email today from the theatre in Amsterdam, where we had booked (in September) to see  Madredeus in concert, informing us that "due to promotional obligations" they would not be able to perform at the concert!    :o     It seems very strange that they didn't know about this before everyone had booked!    Feeling very angry at the moment, especially as our flights and hotel are non-refundable!   >:(

So sorry they have ruined it for you! It is indeed very odd! And I don't really get the promotional bit. This concert could have been a part of the promotion...

Thanks, vgonis!   I just can't understand what kind of promotion could have been so important for them to cancel a concert, so close to the performance.  It doesn't make sense at all!   We will have a trip to Amsterdam anyway, but that's not really the point!

A "promotional obligation" that's more important than playing to the fans! :disbelief 

I hope you enjoy your trip to Amsterdam anyway.

It's really stupid. When are you going to Amsterdam. Maybe we have time to meet up. I can't beat Madredeus but maybe we can have a nice diner and some drinks together ;-)

Hi Ingrid!  That would be lovely!    We will be in Amsterdam the whole of March 11th and until lunchtime on the 12th!   I'll get back to you nearer the time!     :wave

It's on a monday but it looks I am able to come over that night. My hubby unfortunately not, he is on a cookingclub that night but I am afraid we are not invited. Only 2 times a year it's ladiesnight and we had it in December (Yummie, was great).
We can make an appointment nearer the time, maybe I will come by train (have to check timetables by then to make sure I can come home the same night) so I can have a good glass of wine or whatever too  ;)

We're both looking forward to it!   Who needs Madredeus anyway!   ;D
