Blowsoc Tour to Vienna, 26 April - 2 May 2010
Tour Manager: Adam Law
This year, Blowsoc once again ventured to the continent to seek adventure, amazing concert venues and all-round frivolity. Our destination was the historic Austrian capital Vienna. Under the guidance of tour manager Adam and conductors Paddy and Charlotte, we performed three brilliant concerts, went wine-tasting, swimming, sightseeing and a load of other '-ings'. Congratulations to Adam, and a big thanks to everyone who made it such a memorable week. Videos and the tour book will be up soon.
Blowsoc Tour to Cologne, 14-19 April 2009
Tour Manager: Claire Game
Last year Blowsoc descended on Cologne for a week of fun, frolics and even some playing!
As one of Germany's oldest cities, Cologne boasts an impressive heritage. With its skyline dominated by its enormous cathedral, Cologne's hundreds of galleries and museums help to make it the cultural capital of the Rhineland. As we discovered, it also contains many lively bars, restaurants and perhaps most importantly, beer-bikes!
As well as performing 3 concerts, activities included day trips to the surrounding cities Koblenz and Bonn, wine tasting, a river cruise and, of course, beer-biking through the city centre!
Photos from the week can be found in the Gallery.
