GLENN HUGHES - Bulgarian, Serbian Live Shows Confirmed
On May 6th 2007, GLENN HUGHES (ex-BLACK SABBATH, DEEP PURPLE) has been invited back by his good friend, Tsonko Tsonev, the Mayor of Kavarna, to again play in Kavarna, Bulgaria, where he played last August. This will be a very special event, as Mr. Tsonev is making Glenn an honorary citizen of Kavarna. At 12 noon, Glenn will cut a ribbon in front of a building at the Central City Square which has had a specially commissioned portrait of Glenn painted onto it (other buildings in Kavarna have portraits of Ian Gillan and Ronnie James Dio on them). Glenn will then be presented with the Honourable Sign of Kavarna, making him an honorary citizen of Kavarna. After the ceremony, Glenn will then perform with his band. Glenn is very proud and honoured to receive this from Mr. Tsonev, and he is delighted to be going back to the beautiful country and people of Bulgaria.
In other live news, Glenn will also play a show on May 9th in Tzaribrod, Serbia, which is about 150km from Sofia. Again, this will be a unique event because Glenn has been invited there by the Mayor of Tzaribrod, a friend of Mr. Tsonev, to be the first major international artist to perform in the city. The concert will take place in a new hall in the city, and Glenn's show -as it will be the first concert at the new hall - will act as an inauguration for the hall. As the hall is so new, they do not have a name for it as yet, so Mr. Tsonev has suggested that it be called the Glenn Hughes Music Hall! Mr. Tsonev is doing his best to create awareness for the plight of the Bulgarian nurses still held captive In Libya since 1999. At the recent DIO show in Kavarna, Ronnie wore a ribbon to show his support, and Mr. Tsonev is asking other bands that he has promoted and brought to Bulgaria, to do like-wise.
