Now that was a surprise, and not just for the fans. At the second sold-out unplugged concert of the band "Folkshilfe" at the Brucknerhaus in Linz, guitarist Paul Slaviczek proposed to his Tamara. Tears of emotion flowed, and not only from the chosen one.

Pure emotion! Before the song "Schena Mensch", singer Florian Ritt explained that Folkshilfe had repeatedly been asked whether they could write a song about love, but because it was difficult, they had hesitated for a long time. "With Schena Mensch, however, we now have a song for which several people have said yes this year and one of them wants to do the same," said Ritt somewhat cryptically.

One went down on one knee
Then a spotlight suddenly went on between the rows of seats, focusing on Paul Slaviczek, the band's guitarist. He got down on one knee in front of his completely perplexed girlfriend Tamara - who was sitting in row three. Of course, he also had a ring with him, there was a very intimate embrace and a few tears of emotion. It quickly became clear that the chosen one hadn't expected it at all.

The band members were visibly happy about the successful marriage proposal, which had many pulling out their cell phones. "It's finally out," grinned Ritt. The mood in the Brucknerhaus changed at a stroke: The rest of the concert seemed much more relaxed, even a little more cheerful.

Performance by AVEC
The marriage proposal was not the only highlight of the evening at the Brucknerhaus. There was also a performance by singer AVEC, who performed a version of her hit "Home".
