Wir bekamen zum Beispiel im März ein Angebot für einen Auftritt in Mailand im November. Die Lombardei wurde dann komplett abgeriegelt, und wir haben von den Leuten einen Monat lang nichts gehört. Beim nächsten Kontakt waren sie schon weitaus weniger zuversichtlich. Dann hat sich das Angebot in Luft aufgelöst und wurde auf nächstes Jahr verschoben.
