Heather Nova, simply the best

Amsterdam, March 20, 2006

On March 20, 2006 at 8:15 P.m. Heather hit the stage on the Pepsi Stage in Amsterdam, which was totally sold out. I didn�t know what to expect from an �intimate evening with Heather Nova�, would it have anything to do with the SorrowJoy, the book full with beautiful poems, written by Heather or would it be something else?

After all, from the information I found at heathernova.com I knew that you can buy Heather�s Sorrowjoy CD only during concerts. I expected that she would do some poems during her performance with a stripped down band containing two members: Fiona Pears, who happens to be an amazing violist and Ian Tilley a great �piano man�.

It was busy and all the seats were taken and there was not a real opening act either. Fiona and Ian started to warm up the audience and after playing two songs and the crowd went crazy when Heather hit the stage. The combo isn�t complete without Heather . . .

Heather, Fiona and Ian took off with Gloomy Sunday(1), which was a great choice by Heather to start with. The combination of the Piano, Violin and Heather�s golden voice melted every heart in the hall.

Go to the seaction "Articles, An Intimate Evening with Heather Nova" to read the complete article.

We use a free counter, provided by WebStats4U. It used to be a service provided by Nedstats, but it all changed into WebStats4U.


I didn�t realize that this free counter also offers annoying pop-ups because my browser: Firefox blocks them automatically. However, a friend of mine, living in Belgium, informed me by email about the annoying pop-up and I wanted to know how to turn this damn - pardon my words - popup off.

Sure, I can delete the code of the counter, but than I will loose the history of four years and I don�t want to loose that. There have been 55,403 visitors from all around the world on our site. 11,864 from the states!

I hope that the numbers of visitors will grow to 70,000 this year so people keep coming back and inform your friends too about our site. It is good publicity for Heather too.

Um, back to the popup blocker. I�ve found a script that blocks the pop-ups, though finding it wasn�t easy and if you�re having the same problem with WebStats4U, than you should use the script too.

Here�s the script:




Copy this script and place it between the head and the body tag of the page where your webstat counter is ;-)

P.s. please inform me by email if your browser still recieves an annoying popup. The pop-ups have nothing to do with our site btw.

When I started the CD-project about two years ago I didn't expect that there are so manny talented Heather Nova fans around the world . People like Masimo, Mark Johnson, Kin San Westwood, Alex Fantini have done their best to make the project a success, when I gave the CD on July 8 to Heather herself .

I didn't expect that anyone new would do another Heather Nova song or a song on his/her own, but when I received an email from Arno Sojo, last week, I was thrilled again. He wrote that he covered Heather's song 'New love' for the project and I was looking forward to his version of Heather's song.

I uploaded Arno's version of 'New Love' and now everyone can hear Arno's beautiful voice singing Heather's song. Go to the section "HN CD Project, Music, New Love" and enjoy!

Thanks a lot for your contribution Arno!

a good online friend of mine informed me that Heather will perform for the
Bermuda Sloop foundation a gig on July 15th in Rockport Maine. I informed my
friends up there and i plan on taking a ride up there (that town is about 4
hours away from me here in Massachusetts, but a very good friend of mine
lives near there), so i will stay overnight at my friends house and see
Heather perform the next day w/my friends.

Trouble is i do not have any specifics at the moment, so if anyone gets any
information about this show, time frame, ticket prices, location etc etc
PLEASE post it here ok? I can not wait to get to see her finally Live!!!

Also in a couple of weeks i might be a guest DJ for a morning radio show in
a Florida Radio station http://www.wprkdj.org (you can hear the radio stream
via Real player by saving their file on your desktop and then opening it and
pressing play to hear the live radio stream), so i will definitely feature a
song by Heather, possibly "redbird" this time (when i guest DJ did last time i
featured "I miss my sky".

I will post more info on my blog at http://www.myspace.com/sakisgr when it is
all confirmed. The radio show is from 6 to 8 AM eastern USA time on Fridays
called Permanent Daylight (that means it starts about noon time in central
european time)...

Anyway, that is all for now
it is been a bit quiet here. How about you busy europeans. Did anyone go to
her recent European shows? Let us all know here...

Hugs to all
Sakis in Boston

hello Sakis, well that is great news!

Now while it may not be a full blown gig, it will be the first time Heather has played in the US in years... and good reason to break out the champagne to "christen" the "gig" (;-) .... yeah, ok, maybe just one song, but hey, while shes coming that way....perhaps she'll get some support from someone and do a full blow concert there somewhere.

You all treat her good while she is there..

and i expect you will see more news about the gig either on
http://www.heathernova.com (check the forums, too) or http://www.heathernova.net
(check the forums, too) or http://www.bermudasloop.org/

and if i have a chance to talk with her at one of the upcoming gigs or find out from Massimo (he will surely get some news), or someone else, we will certainly let you know.
here is wishing you goosebumps ...

It has been a while since last time you heard from me . . . but I have been
busy with teaching myself how to program in PHP to adjust the website a
little bit.

The first project I have finished is a guest book for the site that you can
find at http://www.heathernova.us/guestbook/

It looks rather simple, I know. However, it works with MySQL

Did you know that Hugues Cousin created some new Heather Nova postcards
for the postcard service at http://www.heathernova.us/postcards/

Perhaps not, because I have not updated the main pages
since February 13, 2006.

Anyway, Hugues did a great job with the postcards (thanks again Hugues) and you can see them all via our Postcards service

March 10, 2006,

Did you know that we have an Archive of our cover page since June 2003? Well we have, and you can read all the old �front page articles� on our site in the section �Archive�.

Some highlights:

On June 26, 2003
An acoustic evening with Heather Nova in the Netherlands

Yes, you read it right! Heather didn't forget the Netherlands as well on her promotion tour for her newest cd "Storm" that will come out in August.

She will do an acoustic performance at the Care theater in Amsterdam on September 17 and a day later people in Groningen can see her at the Oosterpoort.

You can order tickets for this gig via https://tickets.lvp.nl/nl/index.htm


On September 2003
We would like to inform you that the heathernova organization at http://www.heathernova.org is going to change into the official Heather Nova website at http://www.heathernova.com that you can find on heather's latest release, Storm.

But for the moment it points to heathernova.org, this is because HNO has been acquired by Heather's management, and will go on as www.heathernova.com once the proper migration will be done to a UK server, as of Heather's request.

Most of the content from HNO will stay, some will not. Heather, her label and her management will use the Newsletter to communicate the latest news to fans. The Heather Nova Mailing-list is down now for technical maintenance, and most likely will stay like this, as there are no arrangements with Heather's management to keep it going.

But closing down the mailing-list doesn't mean the end because we will continue this service via our site with the same enthusiasm as the people from HNO. You can join the mailing-list by choosing "Become a member,� membership is free so why wait?

We will also coordinate this with 'Novaforums' and we will see what the future might bring.

The HNO team will work on the heathernova.com site for technical revisions and news updates under Heather's management.

You can read this articles and more via the section �Archive�.

Supporting Heather, that's what our Heahter Nova Online Magazine is all about and I've decided to change the .info site into an open online resource where members can post their own articles after they subscribe themselves for a free membership, a little bit like Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

To ease the job as an editor a little bit, I decided to install a new WYSIWYG editor for the site and intergrate the forum with the new editor too. You can read all about it on our "HeatherNova.info" site.

Everyone who becomes a member of the .info site can now start writing, edit and delete their own articles because I decided
(I mentioned this a few issues ago in the mailing list) to open the .info site for everybody who want's to write articles etc.

I think that this is a good way of promoting Heather because the more people write the greater the chances are that someone new will discover Heather Nova because the .info site is (just like the other sites) listed at more than 6,000 search engines and portals.

I wrote a short tutorial for the new members (but need to update the articles sections because of the new and better WYSIWYG editor) at http://www.heathernova.info/tutorial/

A flash tutorial is on its way!

I decided to make the postcard service more attractive to you, since almost no one is using the postcard service. Why is beyond me because the service was a success last year if I look at the statistics.

Now I gave the postcard service the same look and feel as the rest of our website. I hope that more people will use the postcard facilities since it's free and if you want to send some pictures yourself to be used in the service than feel free to send them to me at cynthia@heathernova.info
I assure you that I will give you all the credits for each picture you send!

Feel free to check it out and go to the section �Send a postcard.�

Subject: Bring the elephant home!

Hello fans,

I would like to stress out Heather's involvement with the Bring the elephant home campaign. Please take a look at these two links to learn about the project and Heather's involvment.

Antoinette and her crew will have this big party/auction in Blijburg aan Zee on September 3rd, which will help raise money for the project. On that day they will auction the items donated by Heather, so I hope that many fans from the area will decide to go there and support the project.

But also fans from around the World are able to donate through the website! So let's get into action and let's bring the elephants home
at the sound of Heather's music! :-)

Cheers,
