Wandering around the Bavarian resort town of
Garmisch Partenkirchen on New Year's Eve we spotted posters promoting a 'Silvestre' event and made our way to this venue. It was exactly what you might expect, a large gathering of mostly locals whiling away the hours by drinking, eating and being amused by tarditional party turns . We especially loved Catherine with her Cow Bell Solo, followed by euphonium and clarinet turns, all very good indeed. The woodchopping pancake turning routine had us a bit baffled. Finally a sing song (Ce Sera Sera a pan European favourite it seems) and a good old knees up before all going out to look at the fireworks. Sehr gut fun !
I was reminded of this experience this afternoon listening to Mark O Halloran talking to Sean Moncrief on Newstalk about his travels in Bavaria.
