Well, it has almost become a habit to announce “comprehensive” updates with many galleries each and every time I update my page, so I would not be the one to break up the tradition - 8 new photo galleries in total, with acts from France and the Netherlands.

Let me start with Paris Appelle! and the three acts, out of some nine or so, that I have selected to present here - Nosfell, La Caravane Passe and Berry. Other than all being very French, each in their own spirit, these acts really could not be more different from each other. Don’t get this wrong, it is not a critique, but a praise, a major on at that, to the organisers, for bringing up such a diversified program to the public - only very limited people would not enjoy an evening like this. I believe that the photographs of the three acts do tell enough about their respective styles and performances.

As for the remaining 5 galleries of Dutch bands and performers, they also do vary a lot in the musical and stage approach, but were all enjoyable nonetheless. I have to stress out that The Deaf are truly deserving of the award for the best live act, I believe in The Hague, although they would hold their ground at just about any stage worldwide - the sheer amount of good energy they project onto the audience, as well as the visual richness of their performance really must be seen to be believed.

So much for this update, another one on its way soon, very soon,
