I have played in France, Belgium, Spain, Morocco,and the US. The travel/tour gigs are always my favourites! A change of language, food, temperature, customs (well, not border guards) is good for the soul.

I might have some stuff in Germany in the coming year! Hope that pans out!

You will love Germany :) Germans enjoy great entertainment and if you can speak the language a little it helps. I was very happy to be Bayerische!

Yes Sir So true! Some of the warmest, friendliest people I met in Europe were in Trier and Cologne Germany. I wanted to practice my two years of college German on them, but they wanted to hold all coversations in English! Wonderful people, great food!

I actually enjoyed listing it out! I had some spare time on my hands. I love playing down under! I've done the Big Day Out a few times. We (The Bands) call it Big Day Off. Because it's usually 3 days between the dates on the tour so we all encamp into various hotels around the cities and get smashed. (Anyone not familiar with this, Big Day out is an enormous traveling Rock festival)

Great.. Post up if you are heading down again next year.. Rumour has it that they are cutting back on the number of venues/cities next year.. I think that Perth may well be off the schedule.. logistical costs..

Cheers

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
