Marian Gold met Frank Mertens and Bernhard Lloyd in a bar in late 1982. The
three hit it off immediately, and soon formed a group called Forever Young.
They played their first show on New Year's Eve 1982, and then - with assorted
friends and girlfriends - formed Nelson Project, working from an apartment
house in Münster. Nelson Project was intended to be a basis for their common
interests in music and the arts
