That’s another week completed on our German Irish Heartbeat tour and I have to say it’s flown by.
We started the week in Eisleben (the birthplace of Martin Luther) and a sold-out show in the local theatre. This is a town we’d visited and had a ball in two years previously and it certainly did not disappoint this time around.
We were once again staying in a hotel two doors up the road from Luther’s gebursthaus (birth-house), just the other side of a distinctly un-Lutheran cocktail bar. On our last visit, this had been the scene of that tour’s biggest hò-rò gheallaidh as Scottish and Irish tunes blasted long into the night with legendary Irish accordion virtuoso Dermot Byrne leading the charge.
