At the bar in the suite of rooms we hired for Gary Brooker's birthday party: Roland from BtP in conversation with Gaby, our head waitress
On the left, Paul Köhrer, without whose unflagging assistance and
research and negotiations the whole event could not have
taken place. Thanks Paul! Also shown, Linda from BtP apparently practising
escapology, guided by Webmaster Jens
Peter Christian (our German/English simultaneous translator) and
Paul, contemplating some of the products of the
oldest brewery in Europe; tables are set in the background for the banquet
Fans from all nations ... Andrea from Rome, Franz from Germany,
George Martin in the red hat,
from the USA; Rita Martin also from the USA, facing away, and Maria from
Portugal
Gary Brooker is astonished to meet Eberhard
Schoener ... he had not known that the BtP team was inviting the conductor,
whom GB had not seen for many, many years ... so the surprise succeeded!
It looks as though they are about to start waltzing ... as Gary recognises Mrs Schoener as well !
Roland apparently shaking hands with Steffi, wife and now biographer of Eberhard Schoener (also visible, Matt Pegg, and Amanda Hysted from Australia)
The Methuselah of champagne, all the way from Rome (thanks,
Stefano)
