Can you imagine? Laurel Aitken the one and only the Godfather of Skinheads, for the second time in Luzern? Again at Wärchhof (see the old event here). But Laurel Aitken became a good friend when we were together on the Skasplash Tour 1996 (see more details here).

It is a risky event and I spend more money out, than money in. Means, I have to go to clean the whole clubhouse the next weekends to pay my bills. But I made Laurel Aitken in Luzern.

Many years I was wearing this T-shirt from that tour.

To feel a little bit of the extraordinary power of this event I let you a little example from the recording. On Saxophone is Tony Looby.

Laurel Aitken is a master of performance. The audience is always 100% on the point with him. Lovely.

The promo poster and signatures are not so much my thing.

The tour is promoting the 1995 album “The Story So Far…”

Guest musicians on that production are Rico Rodrigues and Eddie TanTan Thornton.

Short after this release, there is another release. My name can be found at the special thanks section.

And maybe you’re looking for pictures of that event? I mean, I did it. With help of friends and family, but I do have no picture at all.
