Our Holiday Gigs this Year... (some few Pics inside)

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi There,

this Year we were booked by a Hotel Company called Club ALDIANA. It´s something like Club Med, or Club Robinson. Maybe some of you know them. We wnt to one of their Hotels in Tunisia.
They´ve payed our Holidays (Family included) and we have to play some few Times in the Evening. At least we´ve played 5 Gigs in 3 Weeks. Each with 1,5 Hours of playing. We´ve had to pay only the Flights for us. The whole All Inclusive Holiday was sponsored by them. A good Deal how I find.

We don´t even have to bring our Equipment. Ther´s a complete little PA in the Club Inventory. Also a Guitar (Fender Strat) a Bass, Keyboard, Drumset and so on... I only brought my Tonebone Preamp and played into the Mixing Console.

I have to say: It was Fun. A great Holiday at the Mediteranean Sea with my Family and my best Friends --> my Band

Backside and Way to the Hotel own Beach


Beach...You see our Keyboarder with Girlfriend


Eevening


Evening @the Pool: Right Side Show Stage, Left Side Pool Bar (where we have played)


Our little Stage at the Pool Bar


I´ve brought my Tonebone, BBE Sonic Stomp and Tuner. Thats it. Worked great.


Not really the best Bass. A Hohner PJ. But a little Setup and some fresh Strings gave some good Results. Still better to carry mine Basses and pay for the Transport.


Riding on a Camel was Fun


Sunrise at 5:10 a.m.


My Drummer = best Friend (left) and me. I´m very lucky that he defeated his Intestinal Cancer (you see the Scar on his Stomach)


All together back at Duesseldorf Airport


I´ve made 400 Pics. These are only a few, to show you, that I´ve had great Holidays, that we´ve payed with making Music

It was great.

Wow man, good for you! Looks like you had a blast!

Maybe you can hook a brother up with a gig like that?... :-P

To be honest: We´ve just asked in their Headquarters, send them our Info Package with Demo and they said yes okay.

They often do that Deal with German Bands, wich means, i only know about German Bands.

The Band that was in our Club in Tunisia last Year, was in their Club Makadi Bay/Egypt this Year, while we went to Tunisia.
