With Canadian Blood
Mit kanadischem Blut
Prominente Das riesige Land nördlich der Staaten hat einige äusserst erfolgreiche Schauspieler, Sängerinnen, Autorinnen und Sportler hervorgebracht. Bei den meisten weiss man nur nicht, dass sie in Kanada geboren wurden. Kein Wunder: Mit drei Ausnahmen leben alle hier aufgeführten Stars und Sternchen heute im Ausland. Katja Fischer
5. Bryan Adams, geb. 5. November 1959 in Kingston, Ontario.
Berühmt für: herzzerreissende Balladen. Seit 1981 versorgt Adams Radiostationen weltweit zuverlässig mit lieblichen Melodien zum Mitsingen.
Oder kennt irgendwer etwa «Please forgive me» oder «Summer of 69» nicht? Privat isst Bryan Adams keine Tiere und fotografiert. Für die ARD hat er exklusiv einen Olympia-Song geschrieben «One World, One Flame». Wenn er alles wie immer gemacht hat, dürfte es ein Hit werden. Bryan Adams lebt in London.

Bryan Adams to perform at Festival Concert Hall
Written by Dain Sullivan
Friday, 22 January 2010 08:00
On Feb. 20, Canadian rock singer and songwriter Bryan Adams is scheduled to perform at the Festival Concert Hall as part of his Bare Bones Tour. The tour, mostly consisting of concerts in Europe and North America, has been going since 2008 and has finally reached the Midwest.
Adams has released 14 albums and his songs have achieved No. 1 status all over the world. He has topped the charts in the U.S. with such hits as “Heaven,” “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You,” “All For Love,” performed with Rod Stewart and Sting and “Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?” His major awards include both a Grammy and an American Music Award, in addition to winning Best Male Artist in 2000.
Along with his musical accomplishments, Adams has been recognized for his philanthropic work throughout his career. His concerts, which support such initiatives as Hear the World, The Prince’s Trust, Live Aid, and the fight against breast cancer have helped improve the lives of people all around the world.
In the past, he has been awarded the Order of Canada and the Order of British Columbia in response to his efforts. Recently, he has been nominated to receive a humanitarian award at the 2010 Juno Awards.
Needless to say, Adams’ upcoming concert at NDSU has attracted considerable attention around the Fargo-Moorhead area.
Courtney Topp, an NDSU junior, admires Adams’ efforts to help the world through his music.
“I think that what he is doing is great. Attending his performance at NDSU would be a good way for our community to support Adams,” Topp said.
According to Hardy McBee, Adams’ tour representative at Beaver Productions, the audience can expect to enjoy a wide range of songs from the artist’s set list.
“Fans will get to hear him play everything from the classics to songs from his recently-released album,” McBee said.
The concert will start at 8 p.m. Ticket information can be found by visiting www.ticketmaster.com or by calling (800) 745-3000

Album reviews
Classic album: 'Reckless'
Bryan Adams
A&M Records
3.5 stars out of 5
In the early 1980s, the music press treated Bryan Adams as if he were Springsteen-lite: He had strong pipes, loud guitars and a leather jacket. When "Reckless" was released in 1984, the critics didn't change their tune, but Adams ended up selling so many records it didn't matter anyway.
As far as slickly produced stadium rock goes, this is some pretty good stuff. The album's lead-off single "Run to You" was about as brooding as Top 40 radio could get at the time. With the help of a video that received tons of airplay on MTV (yes, they did play rock music at one time), "Run to You" became a huge hit, and the "Reckless" album went on to become one of the biggest selling albums of the decade.
After "Run to You," six other singles ("One Night Love Affair," "Somebody," "Summer of '69," "It's Only Love," "Heaven" and "She's Only Happy When She's Dancin") made it to pop and/or rock radio. If Springsteen had the adult rock crowd sewn up with "Born in the U.S.A." that year, then Bryan Adams was courting their offspring. Adams wasn't trying to save the rainforests or alter governmental policy in foreign countries, but he seemed to mean what he was singing about and classic rock fans reward him with a huge hit.
"Reckless" went on to sell six million copies, which wasn't the biggest album Adams would ever have, but it was certainly the best. For those of you looking for a little '80s nostalgia that won't leave a bad taste in your mouth, "Reckless" is as good as it gets.

Out There!: "Tears Are Not Enough" by Northern Lights
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
It's the 25th anniversary of We Are The World, and we are going to be treated to a brand new version in a few days. It's also the 25th anniversary of Tears Are Not Enough, the charity single recorded exclusively by Northern Lights, a supergroup of Canadian rock stars shunned from the We Are The World single because they weren't true U.S. citizens. Think there is any chance of an updated version featuring the Canadian pop stars of today? I doubt it! Any of you out there remember this song? Maybe, maybe not? The song was pretty catchy and unique for it's time and it just might be argued that the song was actually a better-written and catchier tune than We Are The World.
Recorded February 10th, 1985 in Toronto, Tears Are Not Enough was written by group of writers including David Foster, Bryan Adams, Jim Vallance, and Bob Rock. The actual idea to bring together Canadians to record their own single to aid Africa came from Bruce Allen, manager of Canadian musicians including Bryan Adams, Bachman Turner Overdrive, and Michael Buble. The tune would eventually end up on the USA For Africa album, raising 3.2 million dollars for African famine relief projects with ten percent taken out to assist Canadian food banks. The video got a decent amount of airplay on Much Music in Canada, and although never charting in the U.S., the song was an obvious smash in Canada quickly reaching #1 on the Canadian Top 40 Chart.
Just like USA For Africa including the cream of the crop of U.S. born musicians of the 80's, Northern Lights spared no expense bringing in many of the best-known Canadian artists of that era. Take a look at the big names who recorded solo parts: Gordon Lightfoot (legendary singer/songwriter from the 70's best known for classics like Sundown and If You Could Read My Mind), Burton Cummings (lead singer/keyboardist from The Guess Who whose only solo hit, Stand Tall, is ranked as one of the worst 50 songs of all time in my estimation), Anne Murray, Joni Mitchell, Dan Hill (Adult Contemporary star of the 70's and 80's best known for his AM classic Every Time We Touch), Neil Young (who got shit from the producers for not singing in key even though that is what he's known for. Yet another reason I think he is overrated), Bryan Adams, Mike Reno (lead singer of Loverboy and the poster boy for rock & roll headbands), Corey Hart (the mushmouth singer best known for Sunglasses At Night which I truly believe is one of the ten best songs recorded in the 80's), Bruce Cockburn, and Geddy Lee (vocalist/bassist for legendary rock group and R&R Hall Of Fame snubbed band, Rush)
Also in the background were Paul Anka who I'm shocked didn't get a solo, Tom Cochrane from Rough Rider who later would pen the classic tune Life Is A Highway, Canadian actors John Candy and Eugeny Levy (the face of the American Pie movie franchise only because it's an easy paycheck), Catherine O'Hara (the mom from Home Alone), Paul Shaffer (yes that Paul Shaffer best known as the band leader for David Letterman), and Frank Mills (best known for the piano classic, Music Box Dancer). Even Canada's prodigal son Wayne Gretzky appeared at the end of the video appearing to sing along.
I'm crossing my fingers for an update of this song. Let's get Bryan Adams, Chad Kroeger, The Barenaked Ladies, Geddy Lee, Avril Lavigne, the guys from Sum 41, and Paul Anka involved. Hell, let's even resurrect Corey Hart's career and bring him along for the ride! We must not forget about our Canadian brothers and sisters. Not only can they chip in more dough, but maybe they can even contribute some of the proceeds to the United States for a better health care plan like they have? Eh?
We can bridge the distance, Only we can make the difference, Don't you know that tears are not enough?

Bryan Adams: Er singt für Olympia
Bryan Adams singt für die ARD den Song zu den Olympischen Winterspielen 2010 in Vancouver
Wenn vom 12. bis 28. Februar die Olympischen Winterspiele in Vancouver abgehalten werden, wird der ein oder andere vielleicht mit einem Ohrwurm durch die Gegend laufen: Schuld daran dürfte Bryan Adams sein, der für die ARD den offiziellen Song für das Sportereignis aufgenommen hat. "One World, One Flame" heißt das Lied, das dem Zuschauer während dieser Zeit immer wieder begegnen wird.
Als gebürtiger Kanadier, der seine Karriere in den 70er Jahren in Vancouver begann, ist der Musiker natürlich prädestiniert für diese Aufgabe. "Bryan Adams ist nicht nur weltberühmt, sondern er steht für Kanada wie kein anderer Musiker und hat mit 'One World, One Flame' ein Lied geschrieben, dass perfekt zu einem solchen Großereignis wie den Olympischen Spielen passt", sagte ARD-Sportkoordinator Axel Balkausky.

Bryan Adams rocks TF
Wednesday, January 27, 2010
CANADIAN rocker Bryan Adams has become one of the biggest international stars ever to grace a Mayo stage, writes Siobhán Foody.
Last Monday night week, in Castlebar’s Royal Theatre a sell-out crowd witnessed the 50-year-old’s highly-acclaimed Bare Bones tour where Adams, accompanied by just his acoustic guitar, a mouth organ and sometimes his pianist, showed the audience exactly why he is a 15-time Grammy Award nominee.
The laidback atmosphere set the scene for some much-appreciated anecdotes and audience interaction with the star, including a request for Spanish Angels (where Adams duly obliged) and at least two marriage proposals (where he didn’t!) Prior to the concert, 30 VIP ticketholders met with Adams backstage and also enjoyed front row seats for the show.
The Royal Theatre’s Sandra Hunt described the gig as “amazing” and said this was “one show where all the staff wanted to stay on and work at”. She also said they were delighted with the feedback from the crowd, with one lady emailing her to say “...he was absolutely fantastic! The sound was amazing and it was such an intimate concert. He was good auld craic and the banter going on around was great! We had a brilliant night.”
Online, the reaction was just as enthusiastic. Blogger ‘Zxc01’ posted “I would not be a huge fan but I certainly am now. The quality of his voice and performance was outstanding... I was blown away by the whole night. The piano player Gary was super... no fancy set... it was great... he sounds just like on CD or even better if that is possible... lol... Brilliant!
“Started at 8.30 and finished at, I think 10.20... such good value for money... now you don't often get a chance to say that in Ireland... one of my best nights out... defo!”

CANADIAN rocker Bryan Adams has become one of the biggest international stars ever to grace a Mayo stage, writes Siobhán Foody.
Last Monday night week, in Castlebar’s Royal Theatre a sell-out crowd witnessed the 50-year-old’s highly-acclaimed Bare Bones tour where Adams, accompanied by just his acoustic guitar, a mouth organ and sometimes his pianist, showed the audience exactly why he is a 15-time Grammy Award nominee.
The laidback atmosphere set the scene for some much-appreciated anecdotes and audience interaction with the star, including a request for Spanish Angels (where Adams duly obliged) and at least two marriage proposals (where he didn’t!) Prior to the concert, 30 VIP ticketholders met with Adams backstage and also enjoyed front row seats for the show.
The Royal Theatre’s Sandra Hunt described the gig as “amazing” and said this was “one show where all the staff wanted to stay on and work at”. She also said they were delighted with the feedback from the crowd, with one lady emailing her to say “...he was absolutely fantastic! The sound was amazing and it was such an intimate concert. He was good auld craic and the banter going on around was great! We had a brilliant night.”

BA photo campaign for Jigsaw
Jigsaw reveals preview of Spring Summer 2010 Collection
Jigsaw is launching the new Spring Summer collection online soon. A sneak peek of the line with a selection of images and a short video from this season’s Look Book shoot is available on Jigsaw’s blo
Recently completed by owner and creative director, Belle Robinson, the Look Book was shot on the sunny beach of the island of Mustique. She summed it all up by commenting, “Perfect ingredients give stunning results. Achieving the beautiful images for Jigsaw Spring Summer 2010 Collection was pure pleasure from start to finish.”
The Team included well known artists that matched perfectly for this shoot. Bryan Adams has been able to make his photography as sensual as his singing. Art Director Vicki Russell, daughter of film director Ken Russell, brought creativity. The Oscar winning make up artist Valli O’Reilly flew in from working with Tim Burton on the new Alice in Wonderland movie. The highly regarded and established hair stylist John Vial came from Chelsea’s Real Hair. Izzy Good, India Wadsworth and Tatiana Danilchnko modelled tirelessly in their gorgeous looks.
The new Design Director Tess Richards gave the collection new beautiful fashion accessories and must have women’s clothes. Jigsaw’s Spring Summer combines dreamy frocks in tropical shades, cool & crisp linens, chic silhouettes for day and night and, as ever, desirable, delicious summer knitwear, all offering the variety tipical of Jigsaw.
The sugar sand beaches and turquoise seas with the warmth and beauty of the local people made a perfect backdrop for the hues and textures of this season’s essential collection mood.
Combining these ingredients achieve these photos which combine so much of what Jigsaw stands for, feminine fashion clothing, sensual silhouettes, and British humour.
The first pieces of the collection have started to arrive and are now available online. Among them there’s the 50’s block print dress : this bold print in rich, spring colours provides a complimentary silhouette fitted through the bust, with free movement in the hem. The Stone & Glass Mixed Necklace has also arrived. The mixture of polished stones and cut glass gives off a modern vintage feel. This necklace looks great worn over a white T-shirt for day then with a low cut dress for evening. The Retro Jersey Long Sleeve Stripe, one of the early arrivals, is a timeless Breton style top. It’s available in three perfect spring summer colours: sand, midnight and ocean blue.

BA will receive the Allan Water Humanitarian Award
Laury dla Bryana Adamsa
Kanadyjczyk Bryan Adams, zdobywca kilku nagród Juno, otrzyma wiosną kolejną, ale tym razem będzie to Allan Waters Humanitarian Award.
Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences ogłosiła, że Bryan Adams będzie kolejnym artystą nagrodzonym tą nagrodą za zbieranie pieniędzy i pracę na cele charytatywne.
W reakcji na zapowiedź przyznania mu tej nagrody Adams powiedział, że ma nadzieję, iż zainspiruje ona i pobudzi innych do podobnej działalności.
Adams działał społecznie i był aktywny w wielu ważnych sprawach od początku swojej kariery. Brał udział w koncertach Amnesty International, Live Aid i Live 8, w dorocznej Prince’s Trust Rock Gala w Wielkiej Brytanii i w innych podobnych imprezach.
W roku 1985 Adams był współautorem i jednym z wykonawców "Tears Are Not Enough", kanadyjskiego singla na rzecz pomocy dla cierpiącej na głód Etiopii.
Adams prowadził także kampanie na rzecz Greenpeace i People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Był też pierwszym znanym zachodnim artystą, który wystąpił w Pakistanie po atakach 9/11. Jego koncert w Karaczi miał na celu zgromadzenie pomocy dla ofiar silnego wstrząsu ziemi w 2005 roku w Azji.
Poza działalnością muzyczną Bryan Adams powołał fundację swego imienia wspierającą edukację dzieci. Sprzedawał też swoje zdjęcia zbierając pieniądze na badania nad rakiem. Czynił to wszystko bez większego rozgłosu.

2011 Juno Awards Coming to Toronto
Leah Collins, Canwest News Service
January 26, 2010
Indulge us as we make a psychic prediction: Sometime between March 21-27, 2011 Bryan Adams, Nelly Furtado, Shania Twain and/or some other Can-Con giant will be spotted in Toronto.
The Juno Awards have been lured by the centre of the universe's gravitational pull, as the awards show's organizers announced plans to bring the show to Toronto next year.
It's been nearly a decade since the awards took place in Ontario. Since 2002, the Junos have been something of a travelling roadshow, bringing a spot of glamour across the country, touching down in cities ranging from Vancouver (2009) to Saskatoon (2007) to Halifax (2006) and more.
2011 marks the Junos' 40th anniversary, and the inaugural awards show also took place in T.O. “The Juno Awards has had such a significant impact on Canada and the Canadian music industry over the past 40 years," said Melanie Berry, president of The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in a statement. "There is much to celebrate and reflect upon within four decades of accomplishments, and we can’t think of a more fitting city to host the festivities than Toronto."
But let's not get too ahead of ourselves; the 2010 Junos have yet to take place. Festivies are being held in St. John's, Nfld. this year, with the awards show being televised live on CTV Sunday, April 18.

Bryan Adams has Started Writing and Recording a New Album
PLEASE NOTE WHEN READING THIS ARTICLE, AT THIS TIME BA IS NOT RECORDING A NEW ALBUM. HE IS JUST DOING DEMOS OF NEW SONGS.
-ed
Recent years: 2000—present
In 2002, Adams wrote and performed the songs for the DreamWorks animated film, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. The songs were included on the film’s soundtrack. The most successful single from the soundtrack was Here I am, a British Top 5 and German Top 20 hit.
Adams had a cameo role in the 2002 Russian-language film House of Fools.
Six years after the release of On a Day Like Today, Room Service was released on September 2004. It topped the charts in Germany and peaked at number four in the UK, selling 440,000 copies in its first week in Europe. The single, “Open Road”, was the most successful single from the album and peaked at number one in Canada and number twenty-one in the UK. In May 2008, the album was also released in the US but charted only at #134 on the Billboard 200.
In 2005, Anthology, the first 2-disc compilation was released, containing two new tracks. The US release features a new version of “When You’re Gone”, a duet with Pamela Anderson. Also in 2005, Adams re-recorded the theme song for the second season of Pamela’s Fox sitcom Stacked.
In 2006, Adams wrote and performed the theme song “Never Let Go” which was featured in the closing credits of the film The Guardian starring Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher. Adams also co-wrote the song “Never Gonna Break My Faith” for the film Bobby. The song was performed by the R&B singers Aretha Franklin and Mary J. Blige and earned him a Golden Globe Nomination in 2007.
Adams released his eleventh album internationally on March 17, 2008. It was appropriately called 11. The album was released in the US exclusively at Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club retail stores on May 13, 2008.The first single released from the album was “I Thought I’d Seen Everything”. Adams did an 11-day, 11-country European acoustic promotional tour to kick off the release of the album.The album debuted at number one in Canada (making it his first album to reach that position since Waking Up the Neighbours in 1991) as well as reaching number 2 in Germany. In the United States the album charted at number eighty. In May 2009 Bryan Adams announced on his Twitter account that he has started writing and recording a new album in Paris.
Adams will be one of the four musicians who will be pictured on the second series of the Canadian Recording Artist Series to be issued by Canada Post stamps on July 2, 2009. The total estimated number of Bryan Adams stamps to be printed is one and one-half million. In December 2009, Bryan Adams released the song “You’ve Been A Friend To Me” for the movie Old Dogs.

Bryan Adams produces special Isle of Man show
WHATEVER it was Bryan Adams had back in the 80s and 90s the now 50-year-old Canadian rocker still has it — the man can sing!
Accompanied by his guitar, mouth organ and the excellent Gary Bright on piano for the final gig on his Bare Bones tour, the world famous singer-songwriter served up a non-stop, two-hour performance of his music across the years to a sell-out crowd.
Starting with Run To You to get the audience warmed up, he covered all the favourites, some of which I didn't realise I knew, and some less familiar but still great tracks.
Likening the Villa Marina to singing in a really big shower, Adams had the audience — particularly ladies of a certain age — in the palm of his hand with hits such as Back To You, I'm Ready, Can't Stop This Thing We've Started, In The Heat of the Night, Cuts Like A Knife, The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You, Please Forgive Me, Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman? and, the highlight for me, When You're Gone and Summer of '69.
Surprisingly, even (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, the 1991 Grammy-winning theme song from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, was another personal highlight!
Having heard it every week on Top Of The Pops for a record-breaking 16 weeks from July 1991, during which it sold more than 1.5 million copies, I thought it was one of my least favourite songs and was convinced that everyone else, including Adams himself, would feel the same.
Very quickly I came to the conclusion that it wasn't the song that was the irritant but the image of Kevin Costner as an unconvincing Robin Hood that it conjured up and so, with relief, I joined in with the rest of the audience singing along.
It was a brilliant night out for those lucky enough to get tickets and so popular that the Villa Marina management had to turn the lights on to get Mr Adams to leave the stage and everyone to go home after a half-hour encore.
Brilliant.

Bryan Adam shoots Sting for hearing campaign
Thursday, January 21, 2010, 16:19 [IST]
London (ANI): Singer turned photographer Bryan Adams has snapped Sting for a hearing campaign. The pic shows the ‘Message In A Bottle’ with a hand cupped at his ear. Sting has been recruited as a celebrity ambassador by global hearing loss campaign ‘Hear The World’. "Our hearing is not only integral to how we communicate but also how we experience the world around us," the Mirror quoted him as saying.
He added: "It''s a fact that we gain more information from hearing than seeing. I hope by supporting this campaign people are reminded to appreciate every sound and fully protect their sense of hearing."
The campaign provides funding for initiatives around the world to help people with deafness. Also, Annie Lennox, Jude Law, Elle Macpherson and Rod Stewart have posed for Adams as part of the campaign in the past.

Canadian Rock Artist Bryan Adams is taking audiences on an acoustic musical journey spanning 25 years with nothing more than classic guitars and an engaging personality.
Singer/Songwriter Bryan Adams has been pleasing audiences with an endless stream of hits for more than a quarter century. But he has never been so naked on stage. Aptly called the Bare Bones Solo Acoustic Tour 2010, each show involves Adams trademark raspy voice, numerous acoustic guitars, his harmonica and an occasional piano player.
The combination is a smashing success and is bringing audiences to their feet. The classic renditions of his 1980s hits "Summer of '69," "Heaven," and "Run to You" off the commercially successful Reckless album are prefaced with stories of each song's origin. And while he is alone with his guitar and a microphone, the sound is still large and full of life.
There is no electronic assistance and the simplist of staging. Adams is fearless in exposing his instrumental skills. He has never been formally trained and is a self-taught musician and songwriter.
The Adams Tour Playlist
With the recent release of his 11th studio album, simply called "11", Adams includes brand new tracks in the show as well as "You've Been a Friend to Me," released for the John Travolta/Robin Williams comedy "Old Dogs." No stranger to motion picture number ones, Adams also includes his Oscar nominated hits "Everything I Do, I Do For You," from the Robin Hood soundtrack, and "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" of Don Juan DeMarco.
Throughout the more than two-hour performance, Adams, dressed in his trademark blue jeans and black boots, interacts with his audience with endearing wit and encourages them to participate any way he can - singing along, conversing, clapping, even foot stomping.

Review: Bryan Adams, Olympia, Dublin
By Bryan Adams Olympia, Dublin John Meagher
Wednesday January 20 2010
IT is hard to believe that Bryan Adams is now 50, such is the youthful figure he cuts on stage. For many, of course, the Canadian will always remain the boyish stadium rocker who enjoyed enormous success in the 1980s.
With 30 years in the business behind him, he can afford to be a little self-indulgent and this tour certainly lives up to its name: 'Bare Bones' finds Adams and bandmate Gary Breit stripping an extensive back catalogue to its core. It's all acoustic -- just Adams' guitar and occasional harmonica and Breit's piano. "I don't know if you got the memo," Adams quips. "But this is the band."
His larynx will thank him for the new approach. With the music so restrained he can allow more nuance into those gently gravelly vocals. Opener 'Run to You' offers a good idea about what is to follow -- a song that is still ostensibly the same as its original recording, just sparser, slower and more atmospheric.
Over the course of two hours -- and 25 songs -- the "Groover from Vancouver" and Breit remain faithful to the work. Any temptation that might have been there to completely reinvent the material, a la Bob Dylan, is quashed. Instead, they play it safe and give the crowd exactly what they're looking for -- a strident take on 'Summer of '69', a tender version of 'Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?', and a crowd-assisted performance of the song that looked it was forever set to stay atop the charts, '(Everything I Do) I Do it for You'.
Yet the highlights come from unexpected sources. 'The Right Place', a song Adams tells us was written for Ray Charles, but instead wound up in the hands of 'American Idol' winner Taylor Hicks, is a smoky jazz number that's languid and lovely; while 'You're Still Beautiful to Me' reveals a self-deprecating streak as Adams drawls his way through the second part of the song like an ageing country singer.
With much banter to the crowd all night, and an awareness of what the galleries want, Adams hits a home run.

Eine Gitarre, ein Flügel und ein Sänger
Was benötigt man für ein gutes Konzert ? Seit gestern abend in Castlebar weiß ich das genau: eine Gitarre, einen Pianisten am Flügel und einen guten Sänger, “this is the band”, um es mit Bryan Adams zu sagen :-)
Der Gig war Teil der “Bare Bones Tour”*, auf der der sympathische Kanadier seine Fans in kleinen Säalen begeistert.
Ich mag Bryan Adams schon recht lange und habe ihn schon mehrere Male in großen Konzerten gehört, wie wohl die meisten der vielleicht 800 oder 1000 Leute beim Mini-Konzert gestern. Zwei Stunden unplugged – genial. Und Bryan Adams ist von seiner Irland-Tour auch begeistert, wie ich in seinem seinem Blog lesen konnte:
“Castlebar, Ireland
Gary and I drove from Dublin for three hours through Ireland to Derry, it was a beautiful drive as the sun was out and the countryside is simply breathtaking… What a beautiful place Ireland is. Just before we left Belfast I dragged Ben my recording engineer (see above) to see the place they built the titanic, pretty amazing… …. After the show we drove to Killarney, and i slept in the back of the car, so that’s why I’m awake at 3AM. I can hear the wind on my window…at least i think it’s the wind!
3:17AM”
Nachzulesen ist das auf bryanadams.com im “Backstage”-Bereich, für den man allerdings registriert sein muß ;-) Aber dieses Foto* hier:
findet sich im öffentlichen Teil und es ist im Hotel in Castlebar entstanden. Ein echt sympathischer Star, dem der direkte Kontakt zu seinen Fans ganz offenbar noch wichtig ist. Und das war sicher nicht mein letztes Bryan Adams-Konzert !

The award is named after CHUM Ltd.founder Allan Waters and designated to a Canadian artist whose humanitarian contributions have positively enhanced the social fabric of Canada. In 1985, Adams co-wrote "Tears Are Not Enough" to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. In addition, he participated in the Prince's Trust gala to help the underprivileged and his photography raised funds for cancer research. In 2006, Adams established the Bryan Adams Foundation to advance education opportunities for children worldwide.

Bryan Adams
TONY CLAYTON-LEA reviews Bryan Adams at the Olympia Theatre, Dublin
What exactly is a superstar – a man with the kind of following who could fill a venue such as the O2 with little problem – doing traipsing around Ireland playing small theatre venues? It is, says Adams to a packed theatre of up-for-it fans, part of a journey to reconnect with the reasons that inspired him to write and perform music in the first place.
It’s easy for anyone with a mind to it to view the 50-year old Canadian rock star (and, latterly, acclaimed celebrity photographer) with a jaundiced eye and a blocked ear; he started out over 25 years ago as the rugged rock act it was okay to confess to liking (admit it – at some point in your karaoke life, you’ve hummed along to the likes of Run to You, Summer of 69 and Straight from the Heart, haven’t you?), but then steered clear of when his 1991 single (Everything I Do) I Do it for You spent four months at No 1, spoiling an otherwise good summer.
For better or worse, that song bracketed Adams as a rock star that women of most ages dreamed of having as their man, the kind of guy who asks for forgiveness – not for causing you emotional hurt, or for not bringing home a carton of milk and a bar of chocolate, but for not being able to stop loving you.
With this in mind, there’s no denying that Adams has the largely female audience in the palm of his hand, but this time it’s without the bombastic backing of a rock band; it’s just him, his acoustic guitar, an accompanying pianist, a lectern and a hard neck.
For the so-called Bare Bones tour, Adams does indeed strip away the trappings of an overtly commercial sound, and it works a treat. Yes, some of the songs (for example, Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman) drip so much treacle it’s a wonder his boots don’t stick to the stage, but some (for example, Please Forgive Me) are very good examples of emotional plain-speaking – and what’s important to remember is that Adams need not be doing this. He requires neither money in banks nor reviews in newspapers. He’s doing it because his music is crucial to him and, clearly, a good number of people in the audience.
After this? Well, he might well head back into the comfort zone of arena rock, but for the moment he’s intent on keeping his art as realistic a proposition as he can manage, and on the basis of these shows he’s doing a good job. Would that other major rock stars attempted to do the same.

Today in Music History
IN 1994, Canadian rocker Bryan Adams played before 2,500 people in Ho Chi Minh City -- the first Western entertainer to perform in Vietnam since the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. About half of the audience was foreigners because the ticket prices of C$20 to $45 represented several weeks wages for the average Vietnamese worker. Adams said he didn't do some of the wilder acts of his regular concerts because he feared clashes between police and fans.

Bryan Adams at the Royal Theatre Castlebar
Bryan Adams brings his highly successful concert tour to Ireland in January for The Bare Bones tour. This intimate concert will come to The Royal Theatre Castlebar on Monday 18th January. (The concert is sold out).
Adams has interspersed these special sold-out performances in between stadium dates in Europe and the U.S., and this new spin on his classic hits has been met with rave reviews from critics and fans alike:
Judging by the standing ovation the fans gave Adams as he took to the stage shortly after 8 p.m., a trip down a memory lane filled with simpler, more innocent times was exactly what everyone was craving. Vancouver Sun - October 09
By the time he began his encore he had the audience on its feet. His rapport with the crowd was easy, relaxed. It felt as if he was jamming for guests in his home. - Dallas Morning News
- June 09
As far as once-in-a-lifetime concerts are concerned, this ranked up there. Way up there. - Victoria Times Colonist - February 09
Adams is currently on the road for his “A Very Special Solo Performance Tour” which includes selections from his eleventh studio album, appropriately titled 11. The Canadian-born, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter has sold more than 65 million albums worldwide, garnered 21 top ten hits, earned nominations for three Academy Awards and five Golden Globes, received 18 Juno Awards, an American Music Award and five ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards for Most Performed Song from a Motion Picture (his music has appeared on more than 40 movie soundtracks).
Adams has been awarded the Order of British Columbia and is a companion of the Order of Canada; he has received an award for "Artist of the Decade" and was recently inducted into the Juno Hall of Fame. He also has a star on Canada's Walkway of Fame and recently added his handprint to the Wembley Square of Fame in celebration of his 25th show at the famed stadium.
Bryan Adams' live performances have benefited His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales Prince's Trust, Live Aid, Live 8, The Concert for Freedom for Nelson Mandela, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, Net Aid, The Canadian Avalanche Foundation and Breast Cancer, as well as campaigns that have saved the rainforests, provided food and comfort for the needy and created whale sanctuaries. Through his own foundation he has also helped build schools in areas of Southeast Asia, devastated by the tsunami in 2004.
Adam's outstanding live concerts have established him as one of the world's best rock singers of our time, performing over 120 concerts a year as he works to spread his message of music and environmental awareness to an audience of millions around the globe.
The intimate Irish tour provides a rare opportunity for fans to see Adams as they've not seen him before.

Art: Bryan Adams
Canadian rock star and photographer Bryan Adams will receive the Allan Waters Humanitarian Award at the 2010 Juno Awards. He is being recognized for his fundraising concerts and campaigns. His campaigns have often brought focus to his photography skills; he has published two portrait books with proceeds going to breast cancer research.
In contrast to his squeaky clean image, his photographs often err a bit on the naughty side. His work has appeared in publications ranging from Vogue to Playboy, along with exhibitions at the Royal Ontario Museum and London’s Saatchi Gallery. His most high-profile job was photographing Queen Elizabeth II. The resulting portrait was widely distributed in the form of a Canadian postage stamp.
All that, and he’s written some beautiful songs as well. Bryan Adams is a Canadian treasure. There’s a great article detailing why that can be found here. Congratulations Bryan!

Bryan Adams to get humanitarian award
Bryan Adams will receive a humanitarian award this year, honoring his fundraising and awareness efforts. The Allan Waters Humanitarian Award will be given to Adams during Candada's Juno Awards on April 18th. Adams has been at the forefront of a number of fundraising and social awareness events over the years, including Amnesty International's Conspiracy of Hope tour, Live Aid, Live 8 and other events. He is also well know for his work with Greenpeace and PETA.
Meanwhile, Adams continues his acoustic tour this year. He's currently in Europe and will make it over to the U.S. next month. The Canadian singer tells us why he decided to go acoustic: "The idea really was to change it up. I'm not really sort of in favor of doing the same thing all the time. You need to sort of change it up. So, it's nice to have a change. I love it. I've been doing it all over the world now, and the next year I'll probably do the same thing. Probably throw some other band shows in there once and a while. But it's primarily going to be my acoustic show now."

Bryan Adams lands Juno Awards humanitarian honour
Bryan Adams, seen performing in Spain in 2008, is to be honoured this spring with a Juno Award for his humanitarian efforts. (Albert Gea/Reuters)Canadian rocker Bryan Adams, who already has a few Juno Awards under his belt, is set to add another this spring when organizers of the Canadian musical honours will present him with the Allan Waters Humanitarian Award.
The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences announced Adams as the latest recipient of the award in St. John's, N.L., on Wednesday.
The award pays tribute to fundraising and charitable efforts.
"I'm accepting this award in the hope that it will inspire and encourage others to contribute and/or also give back," Adams said in a statement.
The academy hailed the singer for being socially aware and taking part in charitable endeavours from early on in his career, including participating in Amnesty International concerts, Live Aid and Live 8, the annual Prince's Trust Rock Gala in the U.K. and similar events.
In 1985, Adams co-wrote and was among the host of singers who recorded Tears Are Not Enough, the Canadian charity single in support of Ethiopian famine relief. A past campaigner for Greenpeace and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Adams was also the first major Western artist to perform in Pakistan following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Adams's 2006 Karachi concert was held to raise money for victims of the massive October 2005 earthquake that roared through South Asia and devastated the Kashmir region.
Aside from his music, Adams has also established a namesake foundation that supports children's education and has sold his photography to raise money for cancer research.
"Without any fanfare, Bryan's foundation has quietly worked to enrich the lives of children and young people here at home and in the far-flung corners of the globe," said academy president and CEO Melanie Berry.
Academy honours one of its own
Officials also announced on Wednesday the 2010 winner of the Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award: Ross Reynolds, longtime Universal Music Canada president as well as a founding board member and former chair of the academy.
In addition to being a music mogul who helped develop the careers of artists from Dan Hill to Lighthouse to The Tragically Hip, he has also served as an adviser, board member or executive at a host of organizations, including the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Canadian Recording Industry Association, the Audio Visual Preservation Trust Fund and Canada's Walk of Fame.
Elected chair of the academy in 2001, Reynolds was part of the group behind the popular idea to move the Juno Awards celebrations to a different Canadian city every year, with St. John's tapped as the inaugural host in 2002.
Adams and Reynolds will be feted during the Juno Awards festivities in St. John's this spring, beginning April 12 and ending with the live broadcast of the 39th annual Juno Awards gala from the Mile One Centre on April 18.

Bryan Adams To Be Honored For Humanitarian Efforts
Canadian star Bryan Adams will be given a special award in recognition of his humanitarian efforts when the Juno Awards are held in St. John's, Nfld in April. Adams will receive the Allan Waters Humanitarian Award at the ceremony on April 18, the Junos announced today, recognizing "an outstanding Canadian artist whose humanitarian contributions have positively enhanced the social fabric of Canada."
The awards are broadcast in Canada on CTV.
In a news release, the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, which runs the Junos, says "Adams has been at the forefront of fundraising and social awareness events," including Amnesty International's Conspiracy of Hope tour, Live Aid, Live 8 and other events. Adams also co-wrote "Tears Are Not Enough," to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. He is also well know for his work with Greenpeace and PETA.
A noted photographer, Adams' work has raised money to benefit cancer research.
"Without any fanfare Bryan's Foundation has quietly worked to enrich the lives of children and young people here at home and in the far flung corners of the globe," Melanie Berry, chief executive of CARAS said in a statement.

Adams to receive humanitarian award
The Juno Awards are still more than three months away, but at least one Canadian rocker is guaranteed to go home with a prize.
Bryan Adams is the recipient of this year’s Allan Waters Humanitarian Award, Juno organizers announced yesterday.
The 50-year-old singer-guitarist and pop-rock icon has been raising funds and awareness for social causes since the early days of his career, according to a statement released by CARAS. Adams’ list of good deeds includes playing at benefit gigs such as Live Aid and Live 8, the annual Prince’s Trust Rock Gala, and the Rock for Amnesty Tours; co-writing and performing on the song Tears Are Not Enough in 1985 to aid famine victims in Ethiopia; campaigning for animal rights groups such as PETA and Greenpeace; using his photography to benefit cancer research; and establishing The Bryan Adams Foundation in 2006 to support children’s education worldwide.
“I am honoured to accept this award,” Adams said in the statement, “and hope that it will inspire and encourage others to contribute and/or also give back.”
This year’s Juno Awards will be handed out April 18 in St. John’s, Nfld. A full week of Juno activities — including the annual Juno Cup hockey game, the Fan Fare, and the JunoFest — were also announced yesterday. Tickets for the final ceremonies cost $189 and go on sale March 6. The rest of this year’s nominees will be revealed on March 3.

Bryan Adams lands Juno Awards humanitarian honour
Last Updated: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 | 2:57 PM ET Comments1Recommend6
CBC News
Canadian rocker Bryan Adams, who already has a few Juno Awards under his belt, is set to add another this spring when organizers of the Canadian musical honours will present him with the Allan Waters Humanitarian Award.
The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences announced Adams as the latest recipient of the award in St. John's, N.L., on Wednesday.
The award pays tribute to fundraising and charitable efforts.
"I'm accepting this award in the hope that it will inspire and encourage others to contribute and/or also give back," Adams said in a statement.
The academy hailed the singer for being socially aware and taking part in charitable endeavours from early on in his career, including participating in Amnesty International concerts, Live Aid and Live 8, the annual Prince's Trust Rock Gala in the U.K. and similar events.
In 1985, Adams co-wrote and was among the host of singers who recorded Tears Are Not Enough, the Canadian charity single in support of Ethiopian famine relief. A past campaigner for Greenpeace and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Adams was also the first major Western artist to perform in Pakistan following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Adams's 2006 Karachi concert was held to raise money for victims of the massive October 2005 earthquake that roared through South Asia and devastated the Kashmir region.
Aside from his music, Adams has also established a namesake foundation that supports children's education and has sold his photography to raise money for cancer research.
"Without any fanfare, Bryan's foundation has quietly worked to enrich the lives of children and young people here at home and in the far-flung corners of the globe," said academy president and CEO Melanie Berry.
Academy honours one of its own
Officials also announced on Wednesday the 2010 winner of the Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award: Ross Reynolds, longtime Universal Music Canada president as well as a founding board member and former chair of the academy.
In addition to being a music mogul who helped develop the careers of artists from Dan Hill to Lighthouse to The Tragically Hip, he has also served as an adviser, board member or executive at a host of organizations, including the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Canadian Recording Industry Association, the Audio Visual Preservation Trust Fund and Canada's Walk of Fame.
Elected chair of the academy in 2001, Reynolds was part of the group behind the popular idea to move the Juno Awards celebrations to a different Canadian city every year, with St. John's tapped as the inaugural host in 2002.
Adams and Reynolds will be feted during the Juno Awards festivities in St. John's this spring, beginning April 12 and ending with the live broadcast of the 39th annual Juno Awards gala from the Mile One Centre on April 18.

BA Photos at NYC (Macy's Herald Square)
Macy's Herald Square/Center City Welcomes the Phonak Hear the World
Exclusive in-store events raise awareness about hearing loss, feature internationally-acclaimed photography of Hear the World celebrity ambassadors by Bryan Adams and offer free hearing screenings
STAFA, Switzerland, Jan. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hear the World initiative by Phonak will bring the Hear the World Tour - a traveling photography exhibit - to Macy's Herald Square/Center City to raise awareness about hearing loss: a growing issue that affects 31 million Americans. After officially joining forces in October 2009, Phonak and Macy's kicked-off a cross-country hearing awareness tour that debuted in Dallas and San Francisco in the fall.
At each event, Macy's shoppers can receive a free hearing screening and view the internationally-acclaimed photography exhibit featuring the artwork of musician and official Hear the World photographer, Bryan Adams. Adams has photographed several notable musicians and celebrities including Mick Jagger, Billy Idol, Lenny Kravitz, Elle Macpherson, John Legend, Michael Buble and many others. Each image features the celebrity ambassador with a hand behind an ear in a conscious pose of "hearing."
Local hearing healthcare professionals will also be on hand to answer any questions and provide educational materials about hearing loss prevention and treatment.
"Phonak is very excited to continue the success of the first leg of the Hear the World tour by bringing the exhibit to some of the largest cities in the US," said Valentin Chapero, CEO of Phonak. "The issue of hearing loss is so often ignored and we are proud to be able to work with Macy's to continue to bring this issue to the forefront."
While often undetected or neglected, hearing loss can become a social and emotional barrier for the individuals suffering from it, or the families of those it affects. Contrary to popular belief, hearing loss is not solely a concern for the elderly. In fact, according to the Better Hearing Institute (BHI), more than 6 million Americans affected are between the ages of 18 to 44.

At a sold-out concert in Ottawa this summer, Jim Phillips (left) presented renowned signer-songwriter Bryan Adams with a framed enlargement of his own commemorative stamp. Adams’ stamp was part of the Canadian Recording Artists stamp set issued in July.
Lors d’un spectacle à guichets fermés qui s’est tenu cet été à Ottawa, Jim Phillips (à gauche) a remis au célèbre chanteur compositeur Bryan Adams un agrandissement encadré du timbre commémoratif à l’effigie de l’artiste. La figurine faisait partie d’un jeu de quatre timbres consacrés aux artistes canadiens de la chanson émis en juillet.
