Dead easy ..... I visited the site for Spectrum in
Augsburg to check times for a gig I'm going to next
week and lo and behold they are also giving details
for Leos' gig in October. I thought that if the
Augusburg gig was confirmed then maybe so were some
of the others - and when I checked out the website
for another similar venue I've been to - Zeche in
Bochum and again details of Leo's gig are on their
website.

Most of the sites where you can find good advance info
on gigs tend to be run by fans - one of the best is the
German Smokie site which has gig dates up way before
anything tends to appear on their official site.
Otherwise it's down to checking out the various 'Oldies'
sites or sharing info with other friends and fans.
