Deluxe Music will broadcast (older) NOTP stuff
In a newsletter sent yesterday the German NOTP organization announced that a music channel called Deluxe Music will broadcast NOTP during autumn and winter. Starting in November, Deluxe Music presents the Nokia Night of the Proms 2006-2008. On December 20th and 27th Deluxe Music continues the special with shows called “best of early years”.
On January 1st we will get see a “day of the Proms” with unseen material, interviews and pictures from “behind the scenes”. It’s not clear whether the 2009 stuff is included or not. Since it’s not mentioned it most probably won’t be part of the special at all.
Deluxe Music is a free-to-air channel you can watch via Astra or German cable and even internet live stream.
Sorry for my poor English. It’s late, I am tired but I needed to write it though. 😉

NOTP Countdown: Lightshow and Rehearsals
The Dutch NOTP Fanpage runs a series of articles and interviews up to the tour start next Friday. Yesterday they had an interview with Geert Vanhout, the man behind the lightshow. Some interesting excerpts:
Geert: ‘This year will be very special. The LED lights with a low resolution are used for a special light effect during the whole show; there will be less video images compared to last year but there will be more lights. On the stage itself, there will be separate light elements. Besides the artists and the orchestra, we also have to light up the dancers and the extras. All of this needs a lot of material and also a decent programming.’
Geert: ‘From Monday on the rehearsals start in the arena with the dancers, Tuesdays the extras start. On Wednesday the first rough show is done: everyone, also the artists get an explanation of what will happen; it’s a disaster for a musician or an artist not to know some fireworks will explode behind their backs! On Thursday and Friday general rehearsals are planned and Friday evening the first show.’
So fantastic, but the artists only see the design and the result of the light show from next week on. Doesn’t that create any problems?
Geert:’No, that’s not a problem. We discuss in advance with the artists, like recently with Sharon [den Adel]. But the artists know that they work with a professional organization that they can trust; the artists also know that they are part of NOTP and that the show is not build around them.
