Willy Ketzer - Mit dem Namen kannst du nicht Papst werden

In the organizer's words:

Willy Ketzer presents his new book "You can't become Pope with that name"

Willy reads and talks about his family history in 17th century Italy, his time as an altar boy in Hunsrück and his stories from his dazzling career as a professional drummer with the greats of showbiz - from Paul Kuhn to Helge Schneider

Accompaniment: Tobias Sudhoff - piano and Mrs. Kubo - altar boy

And of course the anecdotes beloved by the audience are not to be missed.
What is Helge Schneider's real name? And why did Harald Juhnke lose a tooth? How did Paul McCartney become the richest English artist and why don't you need a plug socket at your grave?

Willy Ketzer - seven times voted best German drummer - knows the secrets behind the scenes of show business. The drummer not only worked with jazz old master Paul Kuhn for 33 years, but also with other national and international show greats such as Udo Jürgens, Jose Carreras, Liza Minnelli, Tom Jones, Barry Manilow and Helge Schneider.

With stories and music, Willy gives an undisguised look behind the scenes of the live music business. A collection of true stories from over 40 years in show business.

And audience members who would like to experience this exceptional musician with his trio are very welcome on
