Concert for Chile

Hello dear people,

Yes, it's official: there will be a benefit called Concert for Chile at De Melkweg venue in Amsterdam on March 24th 2010. Yesterday I announced the news on national TV at Dutch talkshow De Wereld Draait Door. I also played a very short version of Sunny Side Up, which will be my new single with all profits going to Chile as well. This song is already available for download as one of the album tracks from In Your Room on iTunes. Watch Anneke at De Wereld Draait Door here.

On my website you'll find a Concert for Chile banner which will take you to a special page with all the necessary details. There you will also find all confirmed artists. We will add a few more names in days to come. As you can see we already have a great line up with some of Holland's finest musicians!

Thank you for all your kind words dear friends. I feel very blessed being able to help. As you may know my female lighting technician Eveline is originally from Chillan - Chile. Part of the funds raised through the concert and the single will be used to help out the orphanage were she was taken care of as a baby.

Spread the word!

Love,
Anneke XxX

"Dear Anneke, When I met you personally, your last visit to the country with TG, and I exchanged some words with you, in the Pub - Restaurant "El Parron" after the concert, I could see what a beautiful person you are, a simple person, humble, approachable, friendly, and very sweet. Today when my cries and Chile share the pain of our victims and the destruction of much of the country, again it shows the human being Belll you to have this nice gesture to all of us .... heartfelt thanks to you and all the band. India will do well, do not hesitate, and always will be waiting with open arms. Greetings from your second home ..... I. .... Armando C H.....CHI L E......LE CHI CHI CHI LE LE LE...... Viva Chile"

"Anneke, 11:55 Today is Wednesday, and 3 replicates recently felt very strong Rancgaua here in my home, I estimate that they are all above 7.5 degrees and perhaps even without any news at the epicenter of one of them is Rancagua. I'm at work at 2000 meters in the largest underground mine in the world, and here panic and everyone tries to call his family, about all my friends mothers with their children in school ... Armando continually be reporting ......"

"ANNEKE!!!!!!!!!!! This is why I love you so much: you're not only an amazing singer, but you're also a beautiful preson, in all aspects :-) . Today I found out that you'll be performing in my country (Argentina) with David from Anathema!! that made my day, and I'm as happy as I'm able to be. I'm dead broke and I have no money at all, BUT for you I'll save my money and I'll attend that concert (or at least I'l try, haha! :-P ). Is really great that you show your concern about Chile in such a positive way, making a show to help people. You're outstanding as an artist and as a person. I've been in your last concert in Buenos Aires (ND Ateneo 2009) and it was a wonderful and memorable show for me, very beautiful. Well, I hope to see you soon in The Roxy singing some beautiful songs with David. Take care and I love you ;-)"
