Exhibition
The Sixties

During the weeks of the "Elvis" exhibition we got inquiries from some other cities who showed big interest in our work. So in autumn 1998 we presented the cult-bands of the sixties in the industrial museum of Engelskirchen - near Cologne. Motto: "No one here gets out alive". Here you could find The Beatles - from the Star-Club to their seperation, the "Stones", the beat from Great Britain with The Who, The Kinks and The Small Faces, their american collegues The Beach Boys and The Byrds, beat music in Germany and the former GDR, protest songs, flower-power, psychedelic, Hendrix and Zappa. The show was rounded off with items of the early days of bands like Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd - and the "heroes" of the german hit-scenery.

In summer 1999 we went to the "New Gallery" in the town-hall of Wetzlar (near Frankfurt). "Shakin' all over - the music of the sixties" was the theme of this exhibition. Dave Dee himself declared it open. And he was very surprised when we focused his attention on a misprint of a spanish Dave Clark Five LP: the cover was illustrated by mistake with a foto of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich!

Ernst-Richard Wirth and Michael Bielecke of Gummersbach-based band "Connection" played some Sixties-songs during the opening-ceremony in Engelskirchen. The complete line-up nine months later could be heard in Wetzlar - as opener for Dave Dee. In summer 2000 a "Connection"-CD is out. Songs: Dayxdream Believer, I Can't Let Maggie Go, Money and Baby Make It Soon, added is the Wirth/Bielecke-composition Magic Of A Rainy Day. Contact: Ernst-Richard Wirth, Phone 0049-2261-53321
