In 1972 two young musicians from Slough are invited to join an international dance band touring West Germany. Schnapps Fenders & Flares is the hilarious account of their adventures during a ten month period. The journey takes us from US air bases at the time of the Vietnam war as the band are variously presented as the fighting Irish, saucy French females and a black soul band to some of Europe's most exclusive nightclubs.
From gritty industrial cities in the north via picturesque wine villages on the Rhine to the Bavarian alps and Munich during the Olympics, it's a coming of age story as the boys learn very quickly about the seedier side of the entertainment business. It's also a nostalgic look at Germany of the early 1970s and the musical soundtrack of that era.

Biographie de Steve Martin

Steve Martin started his musical career at school, forming a band at the age of 14. After leaving school he got a job as an assistant sound engineer at CTS studios in London and worked on films such as: Let It Be, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Lindsay Andersson's If & Husbands with John Cassavetes. In the early 70s he joined an international cover band touring Germany before moving to Sweden where he lived for the next 10 years.
During that time he established himself as one of the top composers for advertising and TV production in Scandinavia. In 1988 he was commissioned to write the ITN news theme for British TV and moved back to London where he continued to compose. His music has been included in countless international TV & film productions. These days Steve splits his time between Europe where he still writes & records and his home in Antigua.
