DINGLY DELL




After the show in Wien “Vienna” it was an overnight drive straight to Munchen “Munich” and the Bundersliga redundant Olympiche Stadiom. The forty plus production trucks snaked their way out of Austria and into Deutschland for a busy four shows in eight day schedule. The tree lined roads around the stadium soon became a temporary truck park for the emptied trucks as the production crew got to work clambering over the oil-rig looking skeleton of the stage. The Genny’s are perched in the usual position at the top of one end of the stadium next to the scoreboard that triumphantly displayed, in the not too distanced past, “England 5 Germany 1” With the retreat of Munich’s finest football team to the new Alliance “dunlopillo” Stadium the crew can now use the home and away teams dressing room for showers, I decided to use the one Michael Owen used for old time sake! After my victorious shower I decided to park my unit “truck, the bit that attaches to the trailer” at the entrance to one of the lanes we christened Dingly Dell quite a few years ago on a previous tour and this morning it is a gloriously cool blue skied summer morning in the capital of Bavaria. I expect its sausages for breakfast!
