2015 - a fresh start!

Well if you have to start somewhere with The London Quartet, there might as well be a
two-Michelin-star chef there to cook!
Marvellous meal was had by all at BMW Weld in Munich, where we entertained a select crowd in the Rolls Royce lounge.

First in a list of ways in which Sarah-Ann is just the same as Richard who she replaced....
* a penchant for chocolate mousse!
...(this of course takes 'singing beautifully' as read...)

The audience seemed unaware of the new ground being broken as they listened to Cantabile  ̶  The London Quartet... with a woman on the topline...
...and very good it was too!
Sarah-Ann's natural aplomb helped her take it all (including the last minute excitements which so often happen at corporate events) in her capable stride.

We were introduced by the delightful Antonia Niederländer, who has two passengers onboard (she is expecting twins)... and were made to feel very welcome by her, as well as Martine Rapp & Danielle Buse... Thank you to Herr Schmidt & everyone at BMW.
...& thank you to the gentleman from McDonalds (management, natch) who serenaded us with Joe Cocker songs (RIP) ...

BMW Weld had a British feel about it with the Mini on display as well as the Rolls...


We took the opportunity of seeing our old friend Rainer Wallraf; apart form being a radio presenter, show writer, translator and narrator, he has supplied many of our most splendid funny songs in German... and he lives in Munich... here he is communing with Mike, in his excellent apartment...


...and we met a new friend at the airport, on the way home, whilst we waited for the inbound (late) plane the next AM...


Someday, I'll fly away...
