Cool weather draws crowds to Adventureland

Oelde (kme). Despite the drop in temperatures, 300 German rock fans—wrapped up warm—enjoyed the second Oelde Cover Night of the summer in the Vier-Jahreszeiten-Park on Saturday evening. Under the motto "Made in Germany," the Pur cover band "Abenteuerland" and the group "Pfefferminz-Hommage an M. M. Westernhagen" offered top-class music and heartwarming entertainment to combat the autumnal chill on the Sparkassen Waldbühne stage. "Fans of this music are in for a great evening today," predicted Wolfgang Rettig, the responsible employee at Forum Oelde, at the start of the four-hour Cover Night. "Unfortunately, today is not the ideal weather for an open-air event," Rettig added. Despite the less than ideal weather conditions, the two German rock cover bands put on an excellent show that invited the audience to sing and dance along, rewarding them for coming. The band "Abenteuerland" from Braunschweig kicked things off. With well-known Pur hits such as "Versunken" and "Indianer," the five musicians whisked the audience away to an adventure land full of rhythmic sounds and poetic lyrics. Charismatic and visibly enjoying their music, the band sought to connect with the audience. Singer Carsten Siebert ended up singing "Funkelperlenaugen" arm in arm with female fans who had traveled from Sassenberg.
