Cheers, Rock'n'Rail legion! 🥂 There's something to celebrate again – come and celebrate with me!

Our channel now has 5 million views, wow! Guys, that's you, feel free to pat your chests with pride! You, the Rock'n'Rail legion, made this happen! My heartfelt thanks to everyone!

But this great milestone required people who made it possible – with their music, their outstanding stage presence, and, crucially, their cooperation with me, without whom many videos wouldn’t be shown here. A heartfelt thank you to all the bands and artists who have found their presence here!

And just as much heartfelt thanks are due to all those railway colleagues, whose names are unknown, who over the past years and decades have enabled me to take irreplaceable rail line videos that today contribute to the success of the channel.

Everyone is important, but I'd like to name a few here, whose videos have reached more than 10,000 views and are thus the pillars of the channel. Thank you for being here, Strange Kind of Women, FRANK, Larkin Poe, Zac Schulze Gang, Band of Friends, Bernard Allison, Katie Henry, Ally Venable, Beth Hart, Laura Cox, Banshee, Dea Matrona, Laurence Jones Band, BAP – and not forgetting the phantastic annual Rory Gallagher Festival, whose videos, while not all of them have reached 10,000, give the channel a huge boost every year!

And to you for a total of 8 railroad videos, some of which have already received over 20,000 views!

Now let's take a drink to our shared success, I think we'll tackle the next 5 million now... 😉 Let's get to work!

Prost, Rock’n’Rail legion! 🥂 Es gibt mal wieder was zu feiern – kommt, feiert mit mir!

5 Millionen Views hat unser Kanal jetzt, wow! Leute, das seid Ihr, klopft Euch gern stolz auf die Brust! Ihr, die Rock’n’Rail legion, habt das gemacht! Dafür meinen hezlichen Dank in die Runde!

Doch für diesen großartigen Meilenstein brauchte es Menschen, die das ermöglichten – mit ihrer Musik, ihrer herausragenden Bühnenpräsenz, und in ganz entscheidendem Maße ihrer Kooperation mit mir, ohne die manches Video hier nicht zu sehen wäre. Danke vom Herzen allen Bands und Künstlern, die hier ihre Präsenz gefunden haben!

Und es gebührt genau solch herzlicher Dank all den namentlich unbekannten Eisenbahnerkollegen, die mir in den vergangenen Jahren und Jahrzehnten unwiederbringliche Streckenaufnahmen ermöglichten, welche heute zum Erfolg des Kanals beitragen.

Jeder ist wichtig, doch stellvertretend will ich hier einige nennen, deren Videos mehr als 10000 views erreichten und die damit die ‚Säulen‘ des Kanals sind. Danke, daß Ihr hier seid, Strange Kind of Women, FRANK, Larkin Poe, Zac Schulze Gang, Band of Friends, Bernard Allison, Katie Henry, Ally Venable, Beth Hart, Laura Cox, Banshee, Dea Matrona, Laurence Jones Band, BAP – und nicht zu vergessen das jährliche großartige Rory Gallagher Festival, dessen Videos zwar nicht alle die 10000 erreichten, aber in der Summe dem Kanal jedes Jahr einen gewaltigen Schub verpassen!

Und Euch für insgesamt 8 Eisenbahnvideos, die Ihr schon mit teilweise über 20000 views belohnt habt!

Nehmt nun einen guten Schluck auf den gemeinsamen Erfolg, ich denke, wir gehen jetzt die nächsten 5 Mio an.. 😉 An die Arbeit!

Rock'n'Rail Legion, you can be relied upon! Brilliant! Thank you so much – and I'm sure, on behalf of the band too!


A while ago, I encouraged you to raise '50K' to our young heroes FRANK for the first anniversary of the 'Bullfrog Blues' video from RORY GALLAGHER INTERNATIONAL TRIBUTE FESTIVAL 2024. Now you've done it – '50K' to FRANK! Phantastic!


You can experience them again next week in Ballyshannon, and on saturday afternoon on a 'real' festival stage! Don't miss them, starting from 12:00 PM on the 'Gables Stage'! And beyond that, you're sure to meet them at various locations throughout the city.


Now, cheers to FRANK for '50K'! Enjoy the anniversary video – and keep up your support for them! ✌

Hey Rock'n'Rail legion,

In one month, on june 1, 2025, this video of our young heroes from the Atlantic coast will celebrate its one-year anniversary! And as you can see, we are only less than 2000 views away from 50K!

Rock'n'Rail legion! Are you in? Do we want to give FRANK the 50K one year gift? I think there's no better way to show our adoration for them!

And it's realistic! We can do it together! Because the number of views we still need corresponds almost exactly to the number of views the video is gaining each month. So, it's your turn!

And don't forget - they're back again this year, in Ballyshannon for the Rory Gallagher Festival. And no street, no square will be 'safe' from them - at the most beautiful festival in the world. Be there if you can!

Kann mich mal einer zwicken? Bin ich wirklich wach..? 🫢


Rock’n’Rail legion! Unglaublich – wir sind 10000!! 🎉

Hätte mir vor 5 Jahren einer prophezeit, ich hätte mal 10000 Abonnenten, ich hätte dem glatt den ‚Vogel‘ gezeigt! Und nun ist es Realität!

Sollten wir uns jetzt ‚Army‘ nennen? Nee.. machen schon zu Viele.. Ich denke, wir bleiben die ‚Legion‘. Damit haben wir, so meine ich, auch ein großes Stück Identität gefunden – die ‚Rock’n’Rail legion‘, das sind wir alle zusammen, unser Kanal! Und ich danke Euch allen vom Herzen für Eure Treue, Eure Aktivität, für das Leben, das Ihr unserem Kanal jeden Tag neu einhaucht!

10000 – na ja, ich weiß auch, manche machen 100000 in einem Monat.. Sollen sie – kein Neid! Denn dazu muß man anders drauf sein, muß den ‚Mainstream‘ bedienen. Doch das, ich verspreche! – war auf diesem Kanal nie, ist es nicht, und wird es nie sein! Wir bleiben speziell, das macht uns aus! Und für dieses Konzept sind 10000 ein Grund, wirklich stolz zu sein! Ich bin es, auf Euch alle – und Ihr könnt es ebenso sein, denn ihr seid ein Teil davon!

Also – prost! 🍺🍾 Auf den Kanal, und daß er weiter wächst und seine Community so großartig bleibt wie sie ist! Auf uns alle!

Can someone pinch me? Am I really awake..? 🫢

Rock’n’Rail legion! Incredible – there are 10,000 of us!! 🎉

If someone had told me 5 years ago that I would have 10,000 subscribers, I would have ‘given them the finger’! And now it’s reality!

Should we call ourselves the ‘army’ now? Nope.. too many already do that.. I think we’ll stay the ‘legion’. I think that we’ve found a big part of our identity – the ‘Rock’n’Rail legion’, that’s all of us together, our channel! And I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your loyalty, your activity, for the life you breathe into our channel every day!

10,000 – well, I know that some people make 100,000 in a month... Let them – no envy! Because to do that you have to be different, you have to serve the 'mainstream'. But that, I promise! – was never an intention on this channel, it’s not, and it never will be! We remain special, that is what makes us special! And for this concept, 10,000 is a reason to be really proud! It’s me, of all of you – and you can be too, because you are a part of it!

So – cheers! 🍺🍾 Here's to the channel and that it continues to grow and its community stays as great as it is! To all of us!

Hey Rock'n'Rail legion,

and a healthy, successful, happy 2025 to all of you! 🎶✌️🎸🍾🎉

Our 'Legion' has continued to grow strongly in the past year, we are already heading for the '10K'! Awesome!

And we had our first 'One-million-video'! We discovered new bands, continued to maintain old connections, our railroad section gets more and more successful - and we were communicative. That's all you are, Rock'n'Rail Legion! I thank you for that, and let's continue that in the new year.

You know, every sunday, every monday, every tuesday, every wednesday - and sometimes in between... It's worth it every day!

Here we go again - good luck!

Hallo Rock'n'Rail legion,

und ein gesundes, erfolgreiches, glückliches 2025 für Euch alle. Unsere 'Legion' ist im vergangenen Jahr weiter kräftig gewachsen, wir steuern schon auf der Zielgeraden die '10K' an! Grandios!

Und wir hatten unser erstes 'One-million-video'! Wir haben neue Bands entdeckt, die alten Verbindungen weiter gepflegt, unsere Eisenbahnsparte wird immer erfolgreicher - und wir waren kommunikativ. Das alles seid Ihr, Rock'n'Rail Legion! Dafür danke ich Euch, und laßt uns das im neuen Jahr fortsetzen.

Ihr wißt ja, jeden Sonntag, jeden Montag, jeden Dienstag, jeden Mittwoch - und manchmal auch dazwischen.. Es lohnt sich jeden Tag!

Auf ein Neues - viel Erfolg!

Rock'n'Rail Legion,

it happened! Yeahh!!! We have our first 'One million video' on the channel! 🎉🍾🧨🎶🎸✌️

You did it – be aware of it! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 🙏🏻

And our unwavering respect to those who provided the 'material', our one and only enchanting ladies from ‪@strangekindofwomen‬! ♥️

This event needs to be celebrated, not just ticked off! That's why we will use the advent season to enjoy various previously unreleased, very special videos of our great ladies in a loose series.

More details soon, stay tuned!

But now - celebrate with us!

Hey Rock'n'Rail legion,

as some of you have probably already noticed, the video 'I loved another woman' by ‪@frankisaband‬ cannot be viewed at the moment. I had to temporarily reset it to 'private' because some work needs to be done on it.

I was hoping to be able to do this tonight so that it would be visible again quickly. Unfortunately, I discovered that I only have the software for it at home. So it will take a few days longer. Sorry - please be patient!

Good morning Rock'n'Rail legion!

You see me happy! They have cracked the '10K' with their ravishing performance of 'Bullfrog blues' from RORY GALLAGHER INTERNATIONAL TRIBUTE FESTIVAL 2024!! Our young heroes from FRANK have convinced you more than 10,000 times, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, guys!

But now - help them, please. They need our support. Please also help their own music to succeed so that they can continue to grow and become more internationally known. There is a new video of them online, convince yourself of their class! And the best support is sharing wherever you can! They will thank you!

Exceptional young band - exceptional sound! Discover FRANK - enjoy and help them by sharing their videos!

Hey Rock'n'Rail legion,

we have been enjoying the super successful Ruf Records '30th anniversary tour' for almost 2 weeks now. Bernard Allison, Ally Venable and Katie Henry rock all stages until the walls shake! You can still experience them live...

All three of them are unique, but today I would like to highlight one of them who deserves to receive even more international attention - Katie Henry! Young aspiring artists can't have enough of it, everyone knows that. It's essential for their progress.

So I don't want to talk for long, I just want to move forward!

From now on there is a 'Katie Henry Playlist' on

youtube.com/@jochenpurschesrocknrailchannel !

There you will immediately find an overview of her live performances here in Europe over the last 2 years, mostly at Ruf's Blues Caravan. And every newly published video is of course also included there.

I hope you use it intensively and that will help to bring Katie even more into the public eye, for example by sharing it diligently if you like it.

From now on the playlist is public, have fun with it!
