THE packed John Alker Club in Flixton Road was transformed into a mini German Oktoberfest.

Saturday saws the annual Flixton Band Bavarian Bierkeller evening when the Tintenfisch Temperance band took to the stage.

Complete with German drinking songs and novel takes on other popular tunes, no one was spared the Tintenfisch treatment.

Tom Jones, the Sound of Music, Abba and many other numbers were all given a unique twist by the band. As the music became increasingly energised, the audience's enthusiasm also piqued.

Some even mounted the tables and chairs to show their appreciation and all swayed to the beat.

With bratwurst aplenty, and steins a-many, it was a night to be remembered.
