He's been singing since the beginning of the 2000.
Ladies from Frankfurt in the front.
Performance in English, French, Finnish,

Bye bye Berlin, hope to return here soon.

Me, too!
Further famous people caught at the concert night:

This Finnish couple lives now in Berlin.
SISU-radio is pushing Eppu to visit Frankfurt soon.
And here some hints for your Berlin trip:
In Kreuzberg.
Just chicken, but crispy chicken.
Close to Anhalter Bahnhof.
Just a Kneipe.
