And so, by popular demand...
So, the request, back in April/May by my sister was "I fancy the Christmas markets", so, after a confirmation of dates, with our main man, I duly book a weekend in Dusseldorf, not telling her that TVom were playing.
So after arriving in Duss on Friday afternoon, we had a look-see at the Xmas market and then a bright spark! suggested, "do you fancy a small club that I know, which has great live-music"!! and so we made our way to The Pitcher, I asked her to go & see who was on, she came back with a quizzical look and said "It's TVOM"... but It's "sold-out"... Bloody good job I got 2 tickets then... A whack on the arm later and we were in....
First night, we were placed about half-way down the hall, TVOM commenced at 2015 to a "packed-house", which included several "crowd-surfers", which, for me was rather annoying, but then I am getting old!!!. The "highlight" was 1 aforesaid surfer cling to a "air-conditioning unit" which "naturally" decided that it did not like being manhandled and came away from the celing.... Anyhow, I am rambling.... the set-list was.
All with Vom on drums.
