Last BGS concert

Tonight we went to see Marcus's last performance on the Europe tour. We had missed yesterdays performance due to late trains traffic and so on and we nearly missed tonights performance too. After trying several car hire companies, we ended up with a mini that looks like an advertising bilboard from one of those all you can drive for $33 type of companies although when you actualy hire it, the real cost is eu100 once you include tyres and insurance and an engine.



The BGS tour were performing at
Schubertlinde Restraunt
Badstrasse 4
Grunbach am schneeberg

It is about 70km outside of Vienna.

Having the car was only the first challenge. Time was the second. Luckilly the Austrians have a connection with "Dr Who" and we were able to make up a little time by approaching the speed of light on the autobahn.

We arrived in the nick of time, 8pm. Everyone else had eaten. Peter Ingram held the show and met us at the door and dispaced some locals from their table. We managed to clink and munch our way through the various performances. While we are on it, the food was great.

There were performances by locals and BGS students and soem combined performaces too. I understand that there had been a workshop held in the afternoon where these combined performances were put together. It really was a fun night. Megan says the performance was musically "excellent and their performance improvement as a result of the two weeks of intense performances and rehersals was noticable". They were dog tired and I think that this being the last performance and being in an informal atmosphere meant that the boys could have real fun running on adrenalin.
