Last Public concert in Germany

Just a little sad that our time here has come to an end. A big thanks to the many people who smiled at us, fed us, clapped for us, came bearing gifts - especially our two biggest fans Kurt and Pia, who arrived tonight with at least 10 bars of the best chocalate around! Thank you for coming to four of our concerts and its a pleasure to see your smiling faces when we travel the world.

Aachen Rocks!

What a wonderful night last night. Despite pouring with rain at soundcheck, Aachen turned on a brilliantly still night with over 3000 people pouring into the square. The place rocked! Great sing-a-long, fantastic energy. Aachen has to be one of the highlights of this tour. More photos heading this way so stay tuned!

Braunschwieg

A few photos from a wonderful concert in this cute town!





We arrived here yesterday and went to a concert by Gentleman & the Far East Band - never got to meet him but we were spoilt in the VIP tent. Great concert, wonderful weather, excellent music. Tonight we had a concert, an indoor one. Another lovely crowd and not a kiwi or Aussie in the room! So my news about the All Blacks beating the Aussies fell on deaf ears. A couple of our staunch fans came along, including Pia and Kurt bearing a huge selection of prime chocalate (which we started nibbling on tonight after dinner, Kurt - very nice!) A lovely little girl had a photo of her and her friend made into a greeting card for our band and wanted us to sign a poster she had drawn about us. Tonight was memorable because Jerome joined us, just arriving back from South Africa. He is just wonderful and its lovely having his presence with us on and offstage. He has even debuted as a rap artist, first time tonight and he did really well.

What a cool place! A very lovely town and a sublime venue with a ragey audience. We were well looked after and soon forgot that outside, the sun was way up high and the day was gorgeous. From the response of the audience, we could have played all night...but we only have so many songs to encore with! Our audience age ranged from young adults, a couple of children to a dear old 85 year old lady who was just in 7th heaven. We are now back in Munchen and about to head north tommrrow. Austria is cool. Thanks to the promoters - to Benny and his crew.

Austria Sunshine and Blue Skies

Sunshine! Our venue today was Graz in Austria - sub tropical, beside a lake, fabulous sound and although a small audience, it was like having an intimate party! Still in Austria tommorrow so hoping to catch more of the suns rays than we have so far...

Professional Pics from Tambach Castle, Coburg

Here are some photos sent to us by a couple of excellent photographers who filmed us at the Castle in Coburg.

Engollon, Switzerland

Our performance at the Val de Roots Reggae Festival was cancelled. It was torrential, the grounds were muddy. We were there at the grounds for about 2 hours during which our lovely, wonderful hosts seated us in a dressing room with a fire all stoked up. They placed candles on the table and then, Stephen, the French chef presented us with a full on gourmet experience of prawns, fish, sauted potatoes, a gorgeous lemon sorbet dessert – pinot noir…well, the only thing missing was the gig! The organizers were very disappointed, as were we. Before we left, we gave an impromptu performance to thank all the cooks. It would be true to say that our short visit will leave a lasting impression on both sides. Now, we return to Munich – no point in staying in Switzerland – too wet. And, tomorrow, Horomona flies out while we drive to Landshut. To our Swiss-French hosts, a big MERCI from the band. Remember us for next year…

Mo and Avon at Stuttgart

Stuttgart and some staunch looking German fans - with Horomona

We had a great night in Stuttgart and were really spoilt rotten. Members of our audience delivered us bottles of wine, a huge delicious dish of tiramisu, tee shirts, creme brulee for the bus journey the following day...such generosity of spirit. And everyone knows the way to our hearts, allright - through our puku (aue!) Now we are in Switzerland where it is drizzling and we are waiting for our chalet to be cleaned up before we settle in for a quiet and romantic night ...er, all 10 of us!
