About this concert
In Schottland geboren, "Catch the Wind" war 1964 sein erster Hit, Donovan Leitch war gerade 18 Jahre alt, als er zum Popstar wurde, zum Troubador einer Generation. Sein „Universal Soldier“ wurde zur Antikriegs-Hymne wie keine, andere Songs von ihm wie „Colours“ und „Atlantis“, wie „Mellow Yellow“ und „Sunshine Superman“ sind weltbekannt. 2015 ging DONOVAN nach langer langer Pause wieder auf eine kleine „Donovan Retrospective“-Tour durch England. Im März 2017 war er dann mit ‚The Song of the sea‘ in Deutschland, wurde gefeiert - und kommt zurück: ‚Ich freue mich sehr, nun wieder auf Tour zu gehen", sagt er, "und danke allen die mir über die Jahre gefolgt sind und natürlich auch allen, die mich gerade erst entdeckt haben."

Donovan Biography
Donovan Leitch (born 10th May 1946) is a Scottish singer-songwriter who emerged as part of the mid-1960s folk music scene.
Donovan was born in a tenement in Maryhill (Glasgow), the son of a lathe operator, although the family moved to Hatfield (England) in 1956. At first he was called the British answer to Bob Dylan, despite the fact that his own vision and style couldn't be more different from Dylan's. Donovan first hit the pop charts in 1965 with his single "Catch the Wind".
He produced hit after hit throughout the sixties and his Sunshine Superman album was considered an innovative breakthrough to a new pyschedelic pop sound. His 1967 double album A Gift from a Flower to a Garden completed the transition from beat poet folkster to hippie troubadour. His career continued though the 1970s and picked up again with re-issues of his old songs in the 1990s.
As a close friend of The Beatles he travelled to India with them during their famous trip, and taught them how to fingerpick on their guitars.
