the attic. Several shops and galleries are within walking distance and the building offers an excellent view of Oleviste Church. The building has a historic atmosphere. The style is characterised by a pseudo-Gothic abundance of details, ornaments true to the era and warm, dark colours, which will allow the uniqueness of the building to be emphasised. The dominating materials are natural stone, dark wood, multicoloured fabrics and wrought iron. Light fittings are imitations or historical wrought iron with lamps similar to handmade glass or textile shades. The interior design of the lobby and the dining hall connects medieval and modern styles. A contemporary room solution has been placed between historical walls; natural materials are adorned with modern accents. From 1340 to 1355, one of the towers of the historical city wall, the Rentern Tower, was located at the site of the Meriton Old Town Hotel. The tower perished in 1880 and the current building was built on the foundation of the tower. In the building complex is also the Horse Mill, which was built in the first half of the 14th century and which belongs among the 78 most interesting objects in the Old Town of Tallinn.

This Old Town
Quite a bit of excitement has been building in the bluegrass world around this trio of

acknowledged masters, and the collaboration certainly lives up to the buzz. Singer-guitarist Richard Bennett, an alumnus of J.D. Crowe's New South, handles most of the vocals and does so with poise and artistry. He's got a rich, contemplative baritone that's somewhat reminiscent of the great Tony Rice. Bennett's fleet, first-rate guitar work keeps pace with super-pickers Auldridge, the celebrated resophonic guitar player who's played with both the legendary Seldom Scene and Chesapeake, and Auldridge's Chesapeake mate Jimmy Gaudreau, a world-class mandolin player and singer who's joined everyone from the Country Gentlemen to the Tony Rice Unit. Working together, these three turn in seemingly effortless yet thoroughly expressive interpretations of an array of song styles: Civil War ballads ("Southern Son"), tragic gunfighter ballads (Norman Blake's folky "Billy Gray"), gospel, and hot instrumentals among them. --Bob Allen

Having visted the Altstadt on more than one occasion over the last few years (My dad lived in Germany) I have not had a bad experience of it. Situated near the Rhine, it is a glorious array of cafes and shops. Best experience has to be when we went for a delicious meal (sorry, can't remember name of restaurant) then found our way into the bars. Service was excellent, never an empty glass and the atmostphere was electric. Men and women of all ages ... ...comfortable and at ease all night, especially when we moved on to a club and danced the night away to a variety of European music.
More recently we went to a Xmas market near the Alstadt which I must recommend, wrap up warm and weave your way round the wonderfully decorated stalls whilst supping Gluvine (spelling?) A good place to stock up on some Xmas pressies! ...
