    ...and I think it's the same for all the other 'Octoberfest' in HK (which makes me wonder what those bands do from November to September.... well, I guess professional Santa Clause have similar problems.)

    Go and pay a visit to Ned Kelly's and have a chat with the band during one of their breaks. I'm pretty sure they can do what you want:

    If they play German drinking songs, what's the problem?

    "German" meaning German passport holder, or German meaning "tall, blond, blue-eyed"?

    Perhaps you should tell your boss "Beggars kann nicht wählerisch sein" (no offense)

    You are in Asia, surrounded by Asian musicians but you want German music. I've suggested a good alternative but your boss doesnt like the way they look?

    And I am still missing your point. I used to play German drinking songs way back in the day when I played trumpet. I'm a New Zealander. You can't get further from Germany, or German culture. But music is music, you follow a beat and play the notes as written. End results, sounds like German music.
