Goisern Goes West
In 2008 the journey continued: the ship took its musical cargo westwards to the North Sea. Numerous concerts and meeting made the waterways and rivers of Europe between Linz and Rotterdam ring with music: Danube, Main, Rhine-Main-Danube Canal, Rhine and Neckar.
Episodes
This time the wind is blowing westwards for Hubert von Goisern, ambassador for uniting different musical cultures. Still shaped by the impressions that the countries and people of the Linz Europe Tour East 2007 left on the band, the songwriter and his musicians begin the second Danube odyssey with concerts in the Austrian homeland, before their journey takes them upstream to the northern neighbour of Germany.
The second part of the Linz Europe Tour West 2008 takes the whole crew to the northwest of Germany. The initially small obstacles that fate stood in the way of this project have become large and more numerous. Frontman Hubert von Goisern is in ill health and misses much of the visit from the new visitor on board, Mannheim's most famous son, the musical universal genius Xavier Naidoo, who joins the ship's guest list as a another highpoint.
Part three of the Linz Europe Tour West 2008 and the Black Forest is approaching ever faster. Back again after finally overcome illness and the departure of Xavier Naidoo, the crew continue to new shores. These are next to be found in Heilbronn, where the top-class saxophonist Klaus Doldinger, admired greatly by not just Hubert von Goisern, collaborates for a concert.
