No magic, just devotion of association members who do all the cooking, tech stuff, manpower work (carrying and asssembling stage, light &amp; sound equipment, tables, benches, tools, fridge, food ... and cleaning) absolutely unpaid. It's a fine obsession (and almost half of us are amateur musicians themselves) being part of a project where passionate and often gifted locals meet experienced performers, occasionally including celebs, in public.Let's quote a master piano player (with a fine regular employment in this regard) and the members of his brilliant band whom we had the plesure to present already three times: “At Swinging-Volkert, we find ourselves in best hands, very well cosseted by our new musical family.” And Otto Lechner said he just had to visit his former hood, Johann Stojka couldn't wait to face the audience of our cosy, homey event, ...
