Prior to the show, we tried our best to get lost but failed. The area we were in lacked any specific landmarks apart from a plane on a roof, no really, see below. Remember when computer assistance on Oxford road got in trouble for putting a branded Morris minor on their roof? Well imagine that but with ten+ morris minors.
Don't get me wrong, the venue, Meins, was nice, and Francine, our host, was very welcoming. We ate and drank well, and our accommodation was top drawer, above a venue round the corner from ours.
However, for whatever reason, the show just didn't click. There was a crowd of around 50 people but smoking was allowed in the venue and in a separate room there seemed to be some sort of sports meeting which meddled with the silence of the primary room.
We played well but in reality it was a strange atmosphere, so one encore and comparatively meagre merch sales - though in the UK it would be a massive success, contributed to a seemingly early night.
Sadly for me and ol' Barnesy this meant a late night as our accommodation was above the hippest bar in the area. I successfully ordered beers in German, and we chatted until the small hours.
ADAM BARNES BEST OF THE WURST
Before we played we found a hot dog bar and indulged in the sausage! It was good, but here's Barnesy's verdict:
"Great take on a classic hot dog set up, Cheap as chips as well. Great cheddar and tomato topping. Plus options of many more. Only problem - not big enough, Barnes needs more. 3.5/5'
So there you have it, I have to agree though, two were needed to fill the gap. Pic below.
Up early the next morning and onto Gottingen! But more about that tomorrow!
