A friend of mine is in the organisation team of a cool intimate venue just around my house (LCB in Wuppertal - for those who now it): it shouldn't be a problem to find an available date in the schedule - and I cordially offer my hospitality! So guys - why not hop on the plane fairly soon to play for us ... ...??? I promise I sing along as loud as I can!

Cheers ... Christina

Oh yeah that'd be awesome. The LCB is a wonderful venue. And I can offer another venue here in Dortmund! The Musiktheater Piano - small, intimate and a great atmosphere!

many thanks to you all for your warm welcome, almost feel like "beeing home"

are you really planning a "german thread"? sounds good, i think it would be much easier to write in *lol*, my dictionary has to do a hard job from time to time...

@Sona

thank you, the same to you

@Kati

I hope you get well soon, a sore throat is bad, especially when it's going to be summer (had 20°C today and a bright shining sun)

@Corina

ahem, you were here on a wednesday? *lol*... that was the only snow i can remember in 2006...

@Helenwheels 

I LOVE your story   though my nick has nothing to do with a cat... I already loved these little blue smurfs when I was a child, first we had the films on tv and later you could get them as figures (I collected a lot of them wherever I saw them

@ all

what can we do to make this band come over here??? hmm, tonder could be one possibility but some other venues come also in my mind *lol*

Cheers,
Nicole

Well yeah we're plannign that German thread but since this is a forum where the majority speaks English it wouldn't be fair to write German in that thread...

No I was in Luebeck on March 10th, 2006. There war this huge snow storm and no road got cleared because the workers were on strike...

Well Tonder is a good thing to get the lads ocer here but tehy seem to play it only every 2-3 years and since they were there in 2007 it'll be a year or 2 until they come back.

Cheers

THe more people who join the mailing list, post on the OKP and buy CD's in Germany, I think will better the odds of seeing the guys come back over there.  ....maybe....  But it does let them know you are "out there".  Maybe one of you should become a Street Team Leader and help to spread the word, by putting up posters, asking everyone you know to call radio stations, etc.  Spread the Word!  Every little bit helps!

I'm goin' Straight to Hell-On-Wheels!

Yes, Helen, I hope the litte ".de" as email address extention does it's work!

I once contacted the street team and got the answer back, that they don't know how I could help. Hm. Well at least I wear my GBS T-shirts at any concert that I go to. And do really get comments! Especially from the Runrig and Bruce Guthro Fans (which are quite a lot here) - probably as well from the Oysterband fans, but I haven't seen them on stage for a while. And I give GBS CD's to my friends ... with growing success! Just recently I convinced a colleage of mine completely! Yippee!

Anyways - I won't give up hope. They made it to England and Denmark (which is fine for me already!) at least! I waited for Bruce to come to play solo in Germany for 6 years - and last month he played kind of around my house!!

Spread the word! Exactly!

Cheers ... Christina

@helen: Yeah  contacted the street team as well and they told that me that at this point there was no need for a street team in Germany. :( Am doing the same things as bouzouki though. And we're not giving up hope. I do think it'll be the perfect time for the b'ys over here though because at the moment Celtic music has a huge fanbase here in Germany. There'd be tons of opportunities to play all over the country.

Cheers

bouzouki:

Lübeck and the whole area is very very nice by the way ... so beware you guys up north, we might come and visit! I picture us five having a beer at the harbour of Travemünde with a view to the "Passat"!

Get well Katja!

You are welcome!!!!!

I'm living 25 minutes away from Lübeck (by car)!!!

It has been quite some years now that I haven't seen the Ostsee (have a friend in Ostfriesland so I decided to go that direction in the last two years: Greetsiel, as well very nice!) ... so it's high time for a trip up north! That'll be fun! Be sure that I contact you as soon as I have a decent plan! Need to go to the Niederegger Café for a Pharisaer again!

Enjoy the long weekend with this gorgeous weather forecast!
