Sinclair's Irish Pub im Rathskeller
Bielefeld, Germany
Friday, March 21, 2003

The last time I played on this stage, in November 2002, I had six other musicians playing with me... Big Eyed Beans From Venus! This time, I played solo (and damn well, I might add!).

This was my first performance in Europe since George W. decided to flex his "muscles" in Iraq. It would be nice if he would flex his brain before his "muscles". Despite the war, everyone made me feel very welcome, and it was an enjoyable evening for everyone present... I wish it were so for everyone worldwide. My opening song... "What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye. "War is NOT the answer, for only LOVE will conquer hate." Are you listenin' 'Dub?

The view from the stage of Sinclair's Irish Pub im Rathskeller. Robbie proudly purchased a Chicago Mike CD, and sang along with every song. Danke Schön Robbie. Enjoy! If I remember their names correctly, these two are Joachim and Olaf, new fans from Bielefeld. Cheers! My friend Marion was kind enough to bring a table of beautiful women with her! Thanks Marion!

From the left, Petra, ???, Marushka, Marion, Zabina, and Zvenya (Marion, help me out with the names I got wrong!).
Marion snapped this one.

Our incredibly gracious hostess and host for the evening, Ysna and Maidi. Thanks for making me feel like part of the family! Ysna and Irish Pub owner, Ray Sinclair (not pictured) recently celebrated the birth of their first daughter (who is also not pictured!). Onstage in the Rathskeller.

Possibly the world's most avid Chicago Mike fan... Manu has seen more of my European shows than anybody! Couldn't pass up the opportunity to snap this photo in Bielefeld on my way to catch the train back to the Netherlands. I don't know what to say about this...
