Sounds Like: when we started the band, within a very short time we started playing on places like Jazzfest Burghausen, the Club 100/London, The annual Swing And Jive Weekender/UK, the Jazzfest Gronau, the Jive Festival Montpellier and nearly every major Jazz-event in Germany and Benelux, a bit in France and Belgium. I will have a look to complete this list! - Oh, not to forget the flamboyant start in a new chapter of the Bouncing Balls' bandlife in 2008 at the Admiralspalast/Berlin!
