Finally......New CD is out!!!

"HIMMEL der BAYERN,
Von RIO bis SHANGHAI,"

That is the name of our new CD, which was finished a few days ago. We originally planned to release the CD in 2007, but it was delayed due to time needed in the studio and many engagements. 17 titles have been recorded plus a Bonus Track for Hans Niedermeier in 2007, our conductor for 35 years. We put together the full range of our musical selections which include: march, polka, schlager, pop, big band and rock. We offer music for any taste. "Von Rio bis Shanghai" (from Rio to Shanghai), denotes the areas of the world that we have been playing in for the last 15 years. This includes many successful Oktoberfest concerts around the world in countries such as …. Brazil, Dubai, Thailand and China. However, there is nothing like performing in our homeland under "dem Himmel der Bayern" (bavaria's heaven) or, as insiders might know, the Hacker-Festzelt at Munich's Oktoberfest. We hope our fans enjoy the new CD and we look forward to seeing you at one of our concerts and, of course, at the "Wiesn" , Munich’s great Oktoberfest grounds, September 20th through October 5th in the Hacker-Festzelt, when it's once again time to say:

O'zapft is, die Kirchdorfer geb'n Vollgas!!"

10 years of Oktoberfest in the Paulaner Bräuhaus in Shanghai

10 years of Oktoberfest in the Paulaner Bräuhaus in Shanghai

The Oktoberfest in the Paulaner Brähaus in Shanghai/China is celebrating its 10th birthday.
For the 7th time in a row "Die Kirchdorfer" will be playing there.

In 2007 "Die Kirchdorfer" was engaged to play at the Paulaner Bräuhaus Oktoberfest in Shanghai for the 7th year in a row. Two special challenges had to be solved this year, the 10th anniversary of the Oktoberfest in Shanghai and the Oktoberfest in Dubai, which are both at the same time. So, for the first time ever, we will split our band into a group of 7 and a group of 9 to cover both events. The 2007 Oktoberfest in Shanghai was a great success. "Die Kirchdorfer" was able to keep the local and international audience in a good mood for 11 days. The extraordinary good food and the home-brewed "Paulaner Oktoberfest"-beer by master brewer Rene Schwichtenberg was wonderful. Having "Die Kirchdorfer" play in the Paulaner Bräuhaus Shanghai, which is becoming an annual tradition, has allowed us to develop a good relationship with long-term sponsors of the Oktoberfest in Shanghai. We would like to acknowledge the Lufthansa Cargo and especially Peter Ullmayer, who never lets us down. Even the Lufthansa Crews heard that it might be a good idea to visit the Paulaner Bräuhaus on Fen Yang Road during October because of great time there.

We would like to thank all of our sponsors including DHL, Mercedes Benz Technik, TÜV Rheinland, Würth, Schenker Logistics and many more...
A special thank you goes out to Claudia Ernst who supportet our team during the outbound and return flight, we also like to thank flight captain
Axel Tabertshofer and his first officer Kai v. Fraunberg.
