Last night I played at Mulligans, Amsterdam, and I had a really good time with my friends and a nice audience.
When I arrived Barry, the bartender, offered some coffee and after a while we started to get the stage ready for our performance. I was a bit excited because somehow I feel as if I am at home when I am in an Irish pub. Must be because I used to play a lot in the street and in small bars all over Europe where I met lots of Irish people. I never been to Ireland, though, so I really should do this one day.
This night was the first time that we played all my songs. I got 17 songs of my own and we played 3 Sandy Denny songs. ( The North Star and the Ravens, Who Knows, Black Water Side ).
We did 3 sets and we all felt very happy because there was a very good sound and we played very concentrated and had fun.
I think I should go more often to this pub ( Mulligans ) , almost every Thursday there is live music and there are also so called Backroom Sessions. Miriam and Barry are both very nice people and I am glad I met them.
 Miriam and Barry As a band we don't have a name, as a singersongwriter I use my own name, so it was very funny how Mulligans called me the Annette Vogel Band.   
In the audiënce there was a lady from San Fransisco, she told me she worked at Norway and she was on holidays now. She was very enthousiastic and sweet to me, she made some drawnings of us and wanted me to sign it. She promised me to send the drawnings as soon she's back home
And here are some more pictures of people who came over to listen. Thank you all for being there !
