Swiss (rock and) roll

So last Saturday Coldplay entertained another sell-out arena, this time in beautiful Zurich. Oxfam Germany were on hand to arrange everything, and as usual it all ran smoothly. It was an amazing gig - a lot of people have said that it was the best so far. Not only were the band firing on all cylinders, but Switzerland were beating Turkey one-nil in their World Cup play-off game, which was being played simultaneously as the boys were on stage. Chris got the crowd very excited by providing them with a running commentary and score updates. As if by magic, for the finale, the Swiss managed to score one more, and Chris announced it before the final song. The crowd went wild.

The volunteers once again worked very hard - particularly as half the crowd spoke German, half spoke French and the other half spoke Italian. Polyglot-tastic! I spent the entire concert by our stand outside the arena counting the action cards (and also watching the footy!) - the total before the end of the concert was a staggering 1,500 so I was over the moon.
