The Danish audience, displaying both respect and enthusiasm, contributed to the experience with moments of attentive silence and exuberant applause at precisely the right times.

The setlist, a blend of “Honeyburst” in its entirety and selections from his other solo works, showcased the versatility and depth of Tim’s musical repertoire. Each song, from the emotive “Whispering At The Top Of My Lungs” to the anthemic “Superior,” resonated with the crowd.In essence, Tim Christensen’s concert was a masterclass in musical prowess, highlighted by a well-curated setlist and a genuine connection with the audience.
