10 CLOPPENBURG Zum Stortebeker 0162 7340133 with Barnstormer - This gig has a wonderful history... On my June 2005 German solo tour my car expired, permanently, near Cloppenburg, a small town near Bremen. The breakdown service dropped me at the local 'Schlagerclub' (pop disco/club) so I could sort my journey home. Dieter and Sussi, the wonderful couple who own the place, looked after me magnificently and invited us to play! And so, for the first time ever, Barnstormer play in a 'Schlagerclub' (and 'Zum Storterbeker' puts on its first ever punk concert, perhaps the first one ever in Cloppenburg!) This will be a truly unique event.....!
