    Happy memories of Krefeld and Rhinoland <laugh>

    We were the British band for the Shutzenfest at Willich for about 7 years. Great times.

    Sadly, a lot of Germany that we saw was through a coach window.
    Still a lovely country though

    When were you there?

    I went there regularly through the 80s.
    When I first went in '81 it was roughly 4DM = £1
    In '90 it was just over 2DM = £1 <yikes>

    We played at a concert for some German workers, and our opening piece was the Dambusters. There wasn't much applause at all, and our boss just said.."Gentlemen, I think I have made a faux-pas". Priceless <laugh>
