| Goran Karan nakon Poljske, gdje je promovirao svoj novi album „Čovik tvoj“, preselio se na desetak dana u London gdje je održao dva koncerta ! Goran Karan i njegov band Vagabundo 04.06.13. nastupili su u kultnom londonskom klubu Dingwalls, u kojem su oduševili prisutnu publiku i odradili englesku promociju novog albuma. “Vagabundo band i ja smo pocetkom ovog lipnja imali priliku, cast i zadovoljstvo uzivo nastupati u prijestolnici svjetske glazbe- Londonu. Prvi koncert se dogodio u Dingwalls-u, klubu koji se nalazi u umjetnickom dijelu britanske metropole Camdenu. Publika je bila raznolika i sjajno raspolozena; od nasih ljudi, preko regionalnih ljubitelja moje glazbe, sve do Iraca i Poljaka. Tu je bio i legendarni dalmatinski zer- tamnoputi Cliff Pierre, podrijetlom s Barbadosa, koji je ozenivsi se za Mirjanu iz Biograda postao veliki ljubitelj dalmatinske glazbe, pa je cijelu vecer s nama pjevao uglas. Zahvalio bih se Tanji na pruzenom gostoprimstvu i Bobu Perisicu koji je bio organizator ovog nastupa. Hvala, dobri ljudi! Nakon tog nastupa imali smo dva dana slobodno, pa nas je bilo svuda po Londonu. Razmilili smo se podzemnom, kombijem i pjeske, upijajuci dojmove na svim stranama ovog izuzetnog grada. Piccadily, Notting Hill, Portobello Road, Hyde Park, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Abbey Road- Remo, Joke, Mamic, Korunic, Ercegovic, Buric i nas manager Ornela i ja smo zujali svom snagom. Drugi koncert je bio u Gloucester Millenium Hotelu na Kensingtonu, a bio je dijelom gala vecere americke tvrtke Morinda, koja je organizirala sve europski event. Osoba zasluzna za ovaj nas angažman se zove Kornelia i- veliko hvala! Svirali smo pred 700 ljudi iz svih zemalja i krajeva naseg starog kontinenta. Ono najbolje je cinjenica da smo tijekom odlicne zabave svirali 80% mojih pjesama, i to na hrvatskom jeziku, a da je publika sretno plesala i ludovala preko dva sata. Uz to, tematika cijele te gala vecere bila je nezaobilazni 007 James Bond, pa smo kao dodatak svirali temu iz zadnjeg filma Skyfall od Adele, kao i Live and let die, od Paula Mc Cartneya, koju su ne tako davno rado svirali i Guns and Roses. Na povratku smo imali herojskih 2120 km, vozeno u komadu, i to ja… Ekipa je sve izdrzala, bravo i samo tako, dragi moji. Nasih je dozivljaja, dojmova i osjecaja bilo puno vise i bolje i dublje nego sto se u ovom tekstu da napisati. E, to su nasi dragulji, nase uspomene i to je razlog za nasu zahvalnost na najljepsem poslu na svijetu. A vi – vi nam ga cinite takvim. Dobri ljudi, pozdrav i puno vam hvala!” GORAN KARAN Gorana čeka još jedan veliki koncert u Krakovu, u Poljskoj, na velikom trgu povodom ulaska Hrvatske u EU i to 03.07.2013.
