Matthew Caws in Vera
While most of Groningen was still recovering from the onslaught that Eurosonic and Noorderslag brought, Vera was already in gig mode again last night and had Matthew Caws over for a solo performance.
Platosonic Saturday
On Saturday Eurosonic had ended and Noorderslag was preparing itself for one huge party at night. During the day however there were still lots of extra musical activities and I visited Platosonic for a few more gigs.

PlatoSonic and Eurosonic Air
Eurosonic happened again this weekend and so the whole of Groningen was flooded with musicians, TV and Radio stations, promoters and loads of festival goers. around the official Eurosonic-festival there are lots and lots of little sub-festivals. Grunnsonic, Altersonic and Platosonic to name but a few. And then there’s the main stage Eurosonic Air with bigger acts playing free gigs there.

A few highlights in concerts that 2014 brought
