Last night Ed Kowalczyk of Live played a solo gig in the Oosterpoort venue in Groningen playing many Live songs on his own now. Unfortunately due to a busy schedule I wasn't able to see a lot of the gig, but from the cheers of the audience I gather it was a good one. Opening for Ed was Dutch singer/songwriter Arthur Adam. Photos have been uploaded to the gallery.

Fridaynight before the Dutch TT is known as the TT Night. Lots of music in every corner of Assen and tens of thousands of visitors partying until the late hours. The brave ones actually make it to the races the next day. Rock-music has a tight link with all things racing and so one of the stages is devoted to just that. Starting with the lovely Ellen ten Damme whom I'd wanted to see live for a ling time. Next up hardrock of the American Y&T followed by the best rockin' band from Belgium Triggerfinger. By then the night had already turned into one big party, that was brought to it's peak when Girls Wanna Have Fun took to the stage a bit before 2:00am. The photos of all of these bands have been added to the gallery.

Added photos of Normaal to the gallery. They performed at the TT Festival on Thursday and Dutch folks will know that meant an evening of 'Høken' ;)

Oi Va Voi played their fifth and final Dutch gig of this tour last night in Groningen and what a way to start the week. A fantastic band and a very responsive audience made for a great gig. I had a fantastic time at the gig. Worked on the photos this evening and the results have been uploaded and are available in the gallery

A few new additions to the gallery today. On Friday I saw Lucy & The Popsonics, a fantastic energetic band from Brazil. Opening for them was the Dutch/German (or rather Chinese) trio Monokino, also a fantastic gig. Unfortunately the growd wasn't to big, but the gig was great. And yesterday Gabriella Cilmi played at the De Oosterpoort venue, also in Groningen. Hard to believe she's a 17 year old girl with such a voice. Photos also in the gallery And last but not least a small update to the albumpage, as I bought the amazing new The Gossip album yesterday. Now a bit of rest and tomorrow Oi Va Voi ;)

I've added quite some info to this website. First of all the 'Upcoming gigs" list has been updated with a load of new gigs reaching far into 2010. And secondly, I've been a bit neglectful in updating the "Albums" page lately, as a result of which all albums on the page have now been renewed. It is up to date now, as is the Excel list that can also be downloaded from the page.

On June 12th Hedon in Zwolle was the venue where Zwolle based band The Horse Company held the release party of their new album 'Olympus'. Opening for the band was Paulusma, another fantastic band from the Netherlands. So a great evening with two fantastic Dutch bands. Photos -as usual- in the gallery

Today at the early hour of 11:00 the third and last day of the Roots on the Road festival started with a gig by Canadian singer Cara Luft in café 't Keerpunt in Spijkerboor. After the gig the visitors had to rush to the café De Amer in Amen for the second part of the festival. When I arrived Australian Marisa Yeaman had just started. Finishing the day and festival was Vanessa Peters from America and her band Icecream on Monday. Three great gigs on a Sunday morning/afternoon. Photos have been uploaded and, as usual, can be found in the gallery

Well, I guess you can't win them all and the stagelights at the Chris Cornell gig last night were absolutely appalling. It's thanks to the power of Photoshop that I managed to save anything at all and in the end came up with a set that's actually pretty decent. You can check for yourself in the gallery
