BinG! - Barbershop in Germany e.V.

EKBC Birthday Party

Wait a minute - didn't EKBC already celebrate its 30th birthday in 2017?

That's right. But when a founding member reaches his 80th birthday, that's also a reason to celebrate. Instead of handshakes and hugs, there were "only" personal wishes, poems and video greetings from many long-time friends during a Zoom session, but even these were heartfelt pleasures for the celebratee. Because Rudi Kalka is still actively involved as a bass singer, the preparations for a birthday serenade had to be done in secret. But the joy was all the greater when the Polecat song with individual lyrics could then be performed - assembled from 37 individual recordings of almost all current chorus members.

With this release we wish the jubilarian once again all the best: Gratulacje, drogi Rudi!

Concept of the new BinG! website

Spring cleaning... is too small an expression for the general overhaul of the new BinG! web presence. "The impression we want to give visitors of our web pages is to be more modern and the information presented in a clearer way. Also the member area is quite dusty, the structure rather confusing and the maintenance awkward ", explains webmaster Thomas Wardin.
