Photos of Hamburgfest #1 - April 2001
In which we discover a boozer, pop in for a quick one and end up staying for ten years, lose someone entirely and accidentally break a chair. And an ashtray. And ourselves
Photos of Hamburgfest #2 - April 2002
In which no-one falls out with anyone, oh no, we go to a home game at 'The Other Place' and we learn more than is necessary about Scandinavian folk heroes. We might even have had a drink or two
Photos of Kiel & Hamburgfest #3 - September 2003
In which we celebrate the union of a man and a woman - no, not like that. We find out where beloved artists from our childhood end up and what happens after too much grappa. It doesn't end well.
Photos of Hamburgfest #4 - December 2004
In which the Birmingham Boys in Brown are lauded as heroes, lose a game of footy to a team of girls and find a large, very amusing vegetable
Photos of Hamburgfest #5 - April 2005
In which we run around a lot and go purple, imitate Jimmy Saville (no, not like that) and discover an air guitar master
Photos of Hamburgfest #6- April 2006
In which we make friends with an onanist pooch, shuffle paper in the drizzle, shout obscenities at an English-Canadian in German and smuggle alcohol onto a log flume. Oh yes. It's all sadly true
Photos of Hamburg & Mainz-fest #8 - May 2008
In which the Boys in Brown fail to stay at a hotel, startle an oompah band by the Rhine, have fun in a train's 'Disco Compartment', attempt the world record for ice-cream eating & someone goes AWOL for 23 hours
Photos of Dusseldorf & Duisburg-fest #9 - January 2010
In which the Boys in Brown pull a barmaid, a para, several funny faces and two or three important muscles; shout at the worst taxi driver in the world, freeze half to death in Duisburg, spend two days with Ugly Betty and learn some staggeringly libellous rumours about a variety of football managers.
Photos of Hamburg / Crazy Train / Mainz - fest #10 - May 2011 - NEW
In which the Boys in Brown suffer collective amnesia about how much the crazy train ruins your soul, eat several tons of pork, make a face like an angry owl, sing songs about animals that Johnny Morris wouldn't like and laugh at enormous crocheted bedspreads
