And that's not all!

Although writing is increasingly falling by the wayside in an age of richly illustrated voice messages, for the literary scholar, author and songwriter Paul Bartsch from Halle, it is and remains his way of thinking about himself and the world.

The generational companion of Gundermann and Wenzel grew up with the rebellious songs of the group Renft. So it's no wonder that he too has mainly written lyrics, probably around five hundred over the years. And he still comes up with new ideas, things still excite him, Bartsch is still on the road and in search of himself. But because there has to be a pause in all of this, a moment to look back and reflect, the man from Halle said to himself on the occasion of a fairly milestone birthday: When, if not now? In mid-2024, the literary self-assurance that it was by no means everything, but already quite a lot, was published as a book - and Paul Bartsch will be touring the country's stages with the accompanying musical and literary program from 2025.

He says himself: "The literary concert will become an inventory that often surprises me myself and is also a bit adventurous, sometimes thought-provoking and yet always cheerful." An invitation to an entertaining, exciting and by no means complete journey through life with read and sung bridges on which you can meet each other. Because: That's not all!

A book of the same name has been published to accompany the program (ISBN 978-3-759767-89-9).
