He just wanted to later members of today's Mark Gillespie band ( next to him even today: Peter Herrmann (bass ), Thomas Dill (guitar ), Oliver Hunter ( keyboards), Markus Leukel (drums) ) record a CD to its further musical way through the streets of Europe to finance. Since the musicians on so well in the studio, they also wanted time together on stage and remained so Mark in Giessen.
