Hello everybody,

Last saturday I was in Loreena's concert in Lorca and I'd like to make a few comments and reflections about what we lived that night.
The musicians and Loreena were very good, as we all expected. But we know that Loreena's concerts are more than good, they are magical.
When the concert started, during the first two songs, there was a constant and continuous flow of people passing by the front of the stage looking for their seats while Loreena was singing Stolen Child and The Gates of Istanbul. At the same time, camera flashes were going to her, and I could see it was really hard for her and for the musicians to concentrate on their job. I think she was really patient, but finally, she had to make a request to the audience that no photographs were taken and she explained the reasons for that request. Even though the audience was Spanish and Loreena spoke in English, it was very very clear: NO PHOTOGRAPHS. Most of the audience applauded her for that, most of us wanted to live fully every single second of the concert.
Despite her request, there was an individual, or I would say a paparazzi(I feel tempted to use other adjectives, but I'm a respecful person), that nearly jumped on the stage in his attempt to get another photogragh. Loreena was singing Bonny Portmore, and she had to stop singing. She stood up from the chair she was sitting playing the harp and walked towards this disrespectful individual and ordered him to go back to his seat and leave us alone.
The concert continued, but there were still a few "paparazzis" that did kept on their attempt of disrupting everyone.
As you can image, all these sort of unfortunate actions caused some discomfort to Loreena and the musicians, as well as to the audience, and that intimate atmosphere Loreena likes to create in her concerts was imposible. We had all the best ingredients that night: an outstanding castle on top of a hill, the sound of crickets at the warmth of the night, a beautiful, beautiful full moon over our heads and Loreena and her extraordinary musicians.
On the one hand, I feel sad and ashamed for what happened because I think it was very disrespectful. Lorca is a city that belongs to the Region of Murcia. I'm from Murcia and I can't help feeling very ashamed for that selfish behaviour. And, on the other hand, I am pretty annoyed with the local promoter,Espirelia Festival, which is the Tourism and Culture Municipal Government, because they are responsible for many of the actions that contributed to these continuous disruptions.
More than ever we need Loreena's music and become aware of how important it is to know about our history, about our past.The more we know about our past the better we will understand our present times. This technological advances are great whenever we don't reverse in moral, behaviour and respect.
Sorry for the length of this post.
Best regards,

Antonia
