The Shamrocks had an amazing start to the 2011 tour. We arrived in France last Sunday and drove all day till we reached Germany. We settled down in a little hotel that night and had our first Weizenbier of the tour. We were a bit nervous about the first week as we had to perform all four shows. Our first show was in Wolkach and it went really well. There were no major mistakes in the show which is always a worry at the beginning of a run. We had a Q&A session with the excellent students of the WWG Gymnasium in Bayreuth. They very kindly presented us with a flag which is displayed proudly on the tour bus. The next few days saw us perform in Bayreuth and Erlangen. The week ended with a music show in a venue called 1888 Turnerbund. The show ran a little over time(almost three hours), but we were happy to perform to such a responsive audience. We later played an impromptu session in a bar called The Fat Lady Sings in Erlangen. http://de-de.facebook.com/pages/The-Fat-Lady-Sings/250845239597. Much fun was had by all !
The Shamrocks are spending today watching DVD's and enjoying some lovely food prepared by the amazing Edith and Bernhard. And as Shamrock Maeve says, 'we have the dockies on, cup of tea down and DVD ready'.
We look forward to another busy week ahead.
