On the weekend of 19–22 August 2011, Leanne Harte flew over to Germany for her first time. She was invited by friend and mentor Eamonn McCormack to play a well-received gig (trio with Marc-Inti Männel-Saavedra on bass and Tobi Baum on drums) at Offenbach and visited Toolhouse-Studios, Rotenburg/Fulda.
