Full Moon Over Goseck (2015)

Description

On 29th August 2015, nearly 600 people gathered in the courtyard of the beautiful old Goseck castle in Southeast Germany for a unique occasion, a concert in celebration of Paul’s 70^th birthday. This album is Paul’s personal selection of some of the highlights.

The concert was the dream of Robert Weinkauf, organizer of cultural events in the castle, and an old friend of Paul since they met in the 1980’s when Paul came to the GDR to play.

The concert finished long after midnight the next day, which was the actual birthday and at that moment the audience sang happy birthday to Paul, and a gorgeous birthday cake in the shape of a grand piano, was presented to him on stage.

The concert featured Paul’s regular band who have supported his music done the years: Ingo Rau on bass, Butch Coulter on harmonica and guitar, and Vladi Kempf in drums. From UK, they were joined by the great Nick Pentelow on saxophone and clarinet, and Paul’s son Andreas Millns on keyboard.

There were also outstanding contributions from old friend Tobias Künzel of the band Die Prinzen, and the acapella group Amarcord.

The night was a great success, the weather wonderfully warm, the atmosphere unique – and amazingly, a beautiful full moon rose over the castle, and magically lit up the whole event. “We paid extra for that,” said Paul.
