Hamburg 22 October 2010
We didn't do such a good job of getting these posted while we were on tour, but here they are now.
Getting into Hamburg was quite a surprise for a few of us who have been there before but not for years. Allison didn't recognise the whole area down by the docks where Hafenklang is located. It's all been developed - a bit like Canary Wharf or something - lots of expensive flats, shops and offices. In the middle of it Hafenklang still stands though - bloody amazing they managed to keep the venue on the same site despite everything. I think they basically just built a whole new building around it.
The stage at Hafenklang is only a few inches above the rest of the venue and I reckon you might call it "intimate".
Thanks to everyone who rammed into the Hafenklang that night to have The Last Supper with us. Also thanks to Daniel and everyone at the venue for treating us so well. They served us an excellent home-cooked meal which is always appreciated by the band and crew.
More European posts coming soon.
Thanks. Steve.
