First Donovan online concert(24/01/2010)

Today Donovan offered his first online performance, the charity concert 'Donovan & Friends', which was broadcasted live via his official website throughout the world, thanks to the technical support of BT and TV1.EU. It was a two-part acoustic show, with old hit songs, one never recorded (The Promise) and one new (Refugee Of Love) from his next album, Ritual Groove. There were also two encores in which Donovan was accompanied by Jakob Haas on cello, of the Munich Symphony Orchestra. In the break of the sold-out concert they offered a series of interviews with people from the audience, personalities from the organizations supporting the event (betterplace.org, TV1.EU, BT and others) and even Linda Lawrence, Donovan's wife.
