Have tickets to the German shows generally been selling poorly? The Offenbach venue was changed 2 times as well, I believe.

It's a bit strange BCC plays so many German dates,and only 1 fest in Holland.
I'm sure they would sell out venue's like Paradiso Amsterdam and 013 Tilburg in no time.

Wolfy, talked to my friend who saw Joe twice. First 2009 in Mannheim at a similar smaller venue like BCC played now in Offenbach. About the same fan crowd, maybe a little less. Last year in Winterbach, it was a mini festival with Joe as headliner. The crowd was a bit bigger then coz some fans from the UK came over.

Joe is not yet a household name here. But when you mention the name Glenn Hughes, you get the answer "oh, Deep Purple, right"...

thanks for the info. i guess i was expecting the crowds and venues to be bigger for JB and BCC. Didnt realise he was relatively unknown in Germany.

Joe sold out the Royal Albert Hall in 24 hours for a solo show here!

Counting the days till Manchester

Bought the latest German "ROCKS" yesterday, four page interview with Glenn

A bit more personal, Glenn talking about friends, his life in California and being an old hippie.

GH: "With Ritchie Blackmore and Deep Purple we were extremely successful in Germany. I hope we will be able to repeat this. Germany has always been important to me, not only from the musical aspect: My wife was born there."

You will be 60 soon...

GH: "Yes, this year."
