Haus 111 |

Sometimes I think the biggest difference between new and old 'bundesländer' is that you nearly always
get help with carrying the gear in the new ones. Here I had to fight my way through four doors as the landlord regarded the efforts. |

Rolls Royce Bar** |

People in glass houses shouldn't play music - no don't mean that - but the acoustics are extraordinary, especially
among those old cars. I liked the four door RR convertible. |

The phenomenon of being ignored for hours and then frantically cheered at the end of the evening
persists in the new Federal lands (formerly GDR). |

Nothing worse than knowing you have a
three hour drive to make at one in the morning and you wait around to get paid at the end of the gig. |

Mikes Irish Pub |
|
Cannot remember having to play so quietly. This must be an impression of Ireland
that has not come to my attention - playing quietly in a pub. Apart from the fact they don't have pubs in Eire. |
