Hier ist ein Bericht über die Pressekonferenz in Ekaterinburg von Anya - Vielen Dank!

Smokie arrived into Ekaterinburg on Saturday. Therefore at the required press conference they appeared with a certain retardation and with the cups of coffee in the hands. “We generally a little sleep, from the threshold, having been in a friendly way greeted with the representatives of press. - My head even in England, but at the beginning concert everything will be good, began  Michael Craft”.
It is necessary to say that in Ekaterinburg today a little it grew warm, but nevertheless light - clearly not on the The  dress of musicians caused the questions: “You for the not first time in Ekaterinburg, really always hope that will be here heat-?”. The musicians joked back as the answer, that in Ekaterinburg - as in England, where much snow now is very coldly and lies, and they were released into the recollections about their first stay in the Ekaterinburg: “Then there was minus twenty three. Here this actually is very cold”. However, by cold Of smokie you will not frighten - they always can design for the warm reception of public, although the musicians expressed the wish to visit our city in summer.
“To us all is here interesting, continued the theme of Ekaterinburg Michael Craft. - Generally, it is always interesting to travel up to the great distances, from England to Ekaterinburg. But we can see only a little . Today they arrived at four a.m, and saw only airport . By the way, you have new airport. And there are still many new buildings. We attend Russia once every two years, and we always note new. And these changes, to the best. But there are also recollections, about old Ekaterinburg”.
Rhythm of life in Smokie really mad. By their acknowledgement, the largest problem - that there is no time to the walks. Thus, in Ekaterinburg they will conduct exactly twenty-four hours - it is tomorrow in four mornings already outlined departure from the hotel.  - We make on 150-160 overflights  shared Steve Pinell.
To a question, how much years they themselves perceive - always such cheerful, noisy, merry, musicians, laughing, unanimously they answered, that to eighteen. “I already have grandsons”, acknowledged most deserved from Terry Uttley, which together with Chris Norman established group at the beginning 1970. “I don`t have! ”, joyfully it countered Mick McConnel “This because he does not have one place”, confidence it shared with journalists Terry (English “penis”, however, everything they understood without the translation) how even more greatly it made laugh public.
“Mick - our talisman, noted Martin Bullard, we it with ourselves always convey. This is better than any teddy bear.    A witty atmosphere remained practically for the elongation of entire press conference. And only when the discussion turned to the charity, musicians became serious. Group already many years renders aid to children, sick with the leukemia: “If you began to be occupied by charity, then it is not possible to stop this already. It is possible, of course, simply to give money, but then you do not know, where they go further. But here we see how “work” our money”.
There was  unofficial contact with the press after ended, musicians still for long they did not release - someone wished autograph, even specially it brought old, vinyl also, disks, someone compulsorily wanted to make a photo with their idols. Smokie didn`t deny anyone.
