'Gelegenheiten' Berlin show cancelled - looking for replacement.
Apparently my Berlin show, fixed back in January and reconfirmed by the venue last week has to be cancelled. I have been told another event is planned for my concert date and they won't honour the original plan with me.
I've played there 7 times and always had a lovely time there. The last was back in 2019 and full and fun so I was obviously happy to be going back. Now I am looking for another Berlin show as my travel is fixed.
Can anyone in town help with a simple show somewhere? A house concert perhaps? Or can simply offer to host me for a night or two?
Would be for the 05.10.23 and / or 06.10.23
Otherwise I skip Berlin for now and try for something some other time.
Hmm.

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy 'Good To My Girls'
Off topic post for a song I’ve been listening to a lot this week. This is Will Oldham, aka Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy singing his version of a Matt Sweeney number as the last song of his concert in London at the start of December.
I was lucky enough to get to Will’s concert in Frankfurt a few days before this. It was a magical evening and, whilst I’m disappointed not to have found a recording of that show, this from a few nights afterwards is a wonderful listen. His songs, words and performances have been an enormous influence and source of joy for as long as I can remember making music.
The complete recording of the London show is available at Dimeadozen here and the photo above is from the Frankfurt show. Click through it for the original post on Instagram.
