Welcome to Birtland...

  Just like Birdland Birtland wants to be a home to sound and soul, a place for those who are loving, longing or leaving. Freiburg may not be New York, but this little place invites you to stop by and feel just as good.

 

To all fellow musicians - watch out for bad cheques

Watch out for bad cheques: We were booked for a wedding in Freiburg via email by someone from England. After some slightly suspicious mails we were alert, but not yet enough to cancel. But when a totally overpaid cheque arrived our bank and the police confirmed our feeling: it's a very ugly way to trick people with bad cheques. After "cashing" the cheque (you don't get cash, never, the bank transfers it to your account) they put pressure on you to transfer the overpaid amount back to them; but a cheque can take up to three weeks until the bank of origin has approved it, and when that fails, the bank can claim the amount back. In that case the money you transferred to the UK is gone. But even if you don't transfer the money out of care, you have to pay about 50 € fee for the bounced cheque to the bank. That means you lose either way...

"Small grand orchestra"

Our album offers 13 wonderful songs of Jazz, Blues, Pop... We named it "Close Up" out of our intention to burn the atmonsphere of our concerts on CD - obviously it worked! "Close Up is really a close-up" writes regional newspaper Badische Zeitung. We're glad you can hear how much fun and pleasure was involved when producing this album! More infos here...
