This is a list of links to sites, that someway or another are also part of the world of 17 Hippies. Here you’ll find great music, great people, and friends of ours, plus all kinds of other stuff ... from obscure 17 Hippies covers, to places where we would take our friends to have a bite in Berlin ... and elsewhere! If you think we’ve missed something really good, drop us a line at specials@17hippies.com (oh, this page is only available in English).
