– We welcome very much. There is no singalong on Black Brødertorv out in front of the wine bar. That stops fakkeloptoget. We will sing two songs, if the mood is okay, and otherwise we will just sing ‘a little’ and then a minute’s silence, says Lotte Nielsen, who is employed in the company Empyreum Akademia, which is a co-organizer of the procession in Odense.
