SCOTLAND’S FIRST EVER GERMAN MUSIC QUIZ
Written by admin on February 3rd, 2010
Edinburgh based music scene social event, Born to be Wide, is to give guests at its German night at the Voodoo Rooms [Thursday 4 February] the chance to win a range of fantastic prizes in Scotland’s first-ever German music pop quiz.
Up for grabs is a Trip for two to Hamburg’s Reeperbahn Festival in September, complete with VIP tickets for the three day music extravaganza. Other prizes donated by members of Edinburgh’s German community include dinner at the Pompadour Restaurant in the Caledonian Hilton, high tea at the Balmoral and Kaffee und Kuchen at Falko’s much-loved Konditorei.
“We have long recognised that our guests enjoy the finer things in life, but are frequently forced to spend their money on bass strings, drum skins and petrol to get to gigs,” says Born To Be Wide co-organiser Olaf Furniss.
“This way they get the chance to win a series of first class prizes, as well as seeing one of Berlin’s best band, Jeans Team, and meeting some leading lights from the German music industry.”
Furniss adds that the locals will not be at a disadvantage when it comes to the questions.
“Quite a few bands from Germany have enjoyed more popularity in the UK than in their native country, so our Scottish guests could still have a chance of winning,” he says.
Among the other prizes will be a Lufthansa travel pack, Jeans Team CDs and Berlin umbrellas.
The night is a joint production between Born To Be Wide and Edinburgh’s German Consulate. It begins with a seminar [now sold out] and is followed with a live performance by Jeans Team, DJ sets by the Consul General and Consul and the music quiz. Tickets are here
