Now for the statisticians amongst you, here’s some numbers and facts: Not surprisingly, ‘Shadowway’ and ‘As Her Autumnsong Called’ turn out to be our most frequently played songs, with the former having been performed fifty and the latter forty times during the first fifty-nine gigs. The next ones are then ‘Tinúviel’ (twenty-three), ‘The Sprig Within Her Hair’ (twenty-two) and, still, ‘Frodo the Hobbit’ (despite the fact that we last played this song in December 2000; it was performed live nineteen times). Hopefully, its position will soon be taken over by either ‘Dead Wintersleep’ or ‘Cuiviénen’, both having been performed fifteen times (and still contending with ‘Way To Become A Priestess’, which we played sixteen times).

Another interesting table might be devoted to cover songs, occasional feature of our live sets: these include thirty-two songs performed at sixteen gigs (most of them, however, were restricted to two private parties at which we were asked to perform some material apart from our own). Their generic range is rather wide, and it is probably not telling that the bands we covered most often were Soul Asylum and Pearl Jam (three versus five different songs, respectively).

Ps: A huge thank you to Friederike Richter who scanned the flyers.
