Let's catch up!
Been busy giggin' in Holland and recording with 4 of my bands the last few months.
My debut as a lead singer with a new band called The Busquito's. Featuring Thomas Streutgers-sax, Jelle van Tongeren-violin and Daniel Versteegh-guitar. Really loved recording with this band, great musicians, fantastic atmosphere! The recordings, 13 songs, (you can hear a few on myspace) were all recorded live and mixed in 2 days.
The CD's by Herman Pouderoyen (De Ideale Schoonzoon) and Arthur Ebeling (The Handsome Devil are finished. Both cd's will be released in February. Keep an eye(ear) out for them, they're both very well recorded and have brilliant songs on them.
Recorded live with Boyd Small in Amsterdam. Not enough material yet for a new cd but recording went really well. Rocky blues stuff with an international line-up. Mark T from België, Roelof Meijering, Jasper Mortiers and myself from The Netherlands, Kai Strauss (Memo Gonzalez Band) from Germany and Boyd and Josh Fulero from the USA.
And... started my own myspace. Click here!

Back on track after a few weeks of flu and pneumonia.
Irish tour with Arthur was a big succes. Happy faces everywhere . With the help of Thomas Streutgers who played his saxophone brilliantly. Big chance we'll go back before the end of the year.
Discovered some new talent in Ireland as well: Ben Reel.. Great singer with dito songs. He will be coming to Holland in May. His CD `New Horizons` will be released soon.
Boyd's CD "Diamond Boy" is ready. Will be doing a few nice shows with him. One in Denmark!
Myriam Gaasbeek's single "You're gonna get there" is to be released the end of the month. Will go with Arthur to the east of Germany in May.
Oerol festival in June with Herman and Arthur.
Still going strong! See y'all soon!
12/1/2007
That was a long time ago......
Everything runs smoothly down here.
Boyd´s Cd "Diamond Boy" will be released at the Rounder-label, I expect a lot of spinn-off there .
Arthur´s tour to Ireland is going as planned. 13 venues in 13 days. We will see a lot of very special places.
The Unfringed festival in Limerick, a few nice bluesclubs, a theatre and two of my favorite pubs, DeBarra´s in Clonakilty and The Blackbird in Ballycotton. I've played those places before and I have very good memories of those shows.
Coming along this tour is Thomas Streutgers on saxophone, who was a big help organising the whole thing too.
Myriam's new single is about to be released, and Arthur has plans for a new CD.
In short: The new year holds lots of promises!
till the next........

Still nothing but good news.
The preparations for Jesus Christ Superstar are going great. Sorry, Sold out.
Boyd came back from the states and recorded an album there with heroes of the Portland Blues scene. It will be called "Diamond Boy" and is being mixed and mastered this week.
Busy myself organizing a little tour for Arthur Ebeling in February to Ireland.
We have 6 options in thus far, so no complaints there either.
Just did a few nice shows with Myriam Gaasbeek. She will record a new single for Columbia soon. Great song!

Well, ended 4th with Herman. But to be honest, Jeroen Bouwhuis was the best. International mime-act. Brilliant!
In the mean time there are plans for new CD's by Arthur and Boyd. They'll start recording at the end of this year.
Gigs keep pouring through the telephone. 17 in June only I believe...
Special gig with Arthur as last band to play at the Jazz in Duke Town festival in Den Bosch right after "Toets" Tielemans. Isn't that great? And two other blues festivals in Lobith and Wijnegem (Belgium) at the end of April
National television show coming up with Myriam this month.
Busybusybusy. I'll keep you posted.

Long time no hear!
That's what you get from playing all this Dutch stuff.
Busy days with the Dutch theatre competition that we entered with Herman. Semifinals already. Tough competition from guys like: Coen Jutte, Jeroen Bouwhuis and Maarten.
Been asked to accompany Myriam Gaasbeek.
Myriam has written the beautiful song "The Gods must be crazy" And that song has become the title song to a new Dutch movie called " I embrace you with a thousand arms".
8 Gigs already at the famous Oerol Festival with Arthur and Herman.
All good news.
'till the next....

Hi everybody, Billy Jones was great fun to play with.. What a showman!
But then.....
Went to hospital and hed surgery on my knee.
The knee still is a little stiff but they assured me that I'll be able to walk again in 4 weeks, running again in 6 and playing football in 8 months. (Can't a musician have a hobby too?)
So the little tour to Ireland had to be postponed to April.
A lot of gigs this month. Thank God for good friends such as Bart and Lucette who drive me to and from the gigs as I can't drive for three weeks.
A few nice big Bluesfestivals with Boyd, a few with the ol' Irish connection (Marc Gilligan, Noel Shannon, Paul Martin)and the first ever gig of the R&B's (Ronald Bart and Bert) playing their favourite covers.
Enough to be looking forward to....

Dearly beloved...,
It has been two very busy months.
First there was Herman's Cd-launch and then of course Christy Moore's show in Bergen op Zoom
Two lovely weeks Holiday to sunny (sorry....) Italy, followed by 18 gigs in three weeks.
The Parkconcerts as well as the gig with Arthur Ebeling in "de Rustende Jager" on Terschelling were special dates to remember.
But lets get bak to Christy first for I could never have done the organisation without the help of Mark Gilligan of Poucha Promotions and Henk of the Celtic Shop in Bergen op Zoom and last but not least Vicky Monsiers.
Thanks a lot guys. You were great!
.Christy and his manager were very pleased and I had a lot of positive reactions afterwords.
We're very busy promoting Herman's CD right now.
That's it for now.
Till the next...,
Ronald
