:: Album

Christian traf Lesley und Ron in Cuxhaven. Ich traf die beiden zum Interview in Hamburg. Sie unternahmen eine Norddeutschland-Tour, um die alten Auftrittsstätten der "High Society"-London zu besuchen.
Ron unterstützt unser Projekt sehr und wir sind in ständigem Kontakt.
Die Autoren würden sich sehr freuen, wenn sich jemand melden könnte, der sich an diese englische Band noch erinnert.

...ich glaube mich an einen, sagen wir betagten Bus oder van, englischer Bauart zu erinnern, mit dem die Gruppe unterwegs war. Kann das sein? Ich erinnere mich auch, dass einer der Band gut deutsch sprach. Könnte Ron gewesen sein.

Herzliche Grüße nach London from »blue monkey«

Danke Blauer Affe! Da werden wir doch Ron gleich mal fragen:

Hi Ron, a visitor of our website remembers your old band-tour-van and that one band-member spoke a reasonable german. Was it you???
Best regards from "blue monkey".

It would be very nice, if you could give us your answer here under comments or in our guestbook.
Ralf

Dear Blue Monkey
Many thanks for your comment and enquiry. To answer your question, our van used to transport all 5 of us plus our instruments/ drums etc was a yellow painted Austin. It had covered many miles in our playing career and had been written all over in lip-stick, pencil or pen by fans. It was the centre of attention wherever we played and people could not resist writing messages or names on it. This started when we travelled in the UK and played with bands such as The Pretty Things, Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames, Nashville Teens for example. The van broke down in Flensburg once and was repaired by an engineer who was impressed by Austin motors. It eventually stopped altogether in Dortmund and we had to buy another van. Yes we bought a VW. This was a good van and it eventually took us back to the UK.
The person you remember who spoke good German was Bob our drummer! He was just 17 at the time and he learned the basics of the German language at school. After several months he was so fluent he had a problem convincing people he was British! When the band broke up and reformed to play in Spain he learned to speak Spanish and spoke the language in 5 dialects! Some people are just too clever for their own good! By the way he was an excellent drummer too!

Will Blue Monkey please let me know how he met us in Cuxhaven? I will look forward to it. What are you doing in London?

Regards
Ron

Hi Ron,
the first answer to your super reply from me: thank you very very much! This gives life to our album and of course to our whole story. If Blue Monkey has got problems with the translation, he shall let me know. Blauer Affe: wenn du eine Übersetzung brauchst, lass es uns bitte wissen.
Regards
Ralf

Mike Weiss-Cuxhaven/Berensch- told me, that The High Society was one of the best and finest british bands he ever saw in Cuxhaven to that time.
