Bonn’s Swinging Sixties

I’m a big fan of Bonn’s oldest surviving pop band Sunny Skies, so when founder of the ‘Skies’ Rope Schmitz told me there were other musicians from Bonn’s pop past performing again I was intrigued. The evening has been organized by Bea Tradt who sung alongside Rope (Rolf-Peter) in the original Sunny Skies and will feature many of the musical heroes from Bonn’s past (someone calculated their ages would total almost a thousand years of Bonn Rock History, which I think is thinking a little bit TOO hard!)
There will be reminiscing about the past and a small sixties market too (although I guess my chances of buying one of those ‘Beatles Wig in a box’ that I saw as a youngster, but without sufficient pocket money, has gone forever).
Should be an interesting and fun evening so dust off your drainpipes, oil your hula hoop and head for Endenich!
And to get you in the mood for a swinging sixties evening here is a fascinating and fun homage to Bonn in the Mods and Rockers days:
