Gig pics: Venus Tunes Live at Zomerfestival/Foodparc Ijmuiden 2019
Yesterday we performed in Ijmuiden during their Zomerfestival at the Foodparc. It was Mavis' birthday and her family joined her on this sunny Sunday afternoon...
Last time I playe there, the setup was different. Now they had a really cosy foodtruck area a few 100 meters away from the other stage, on a grass field, under the trees.
In between our 2 sets DJ duo Heer & Meester alias Friso Huizinga (unfortunately not pictured here) and Dave van Laar aka Good Old Dave played some funky disco tunes.

Natascha Verheij also made pictures, Diana Roeland filmed some...more will follow later and also the photos of the official photographers of the festival :-) Thank you Zomerfestival Ijmuiden for having us and dear audience for the good vibes!
So the first time we played the music from Royalty For Real wasn't in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, but in Bengaluru and Mumbai, all the way in India in 2023!Here you'll see me play Au Privave, Classy Cats and Royalty For Real, together with Timothy Banchet (piano), Marius Beets (bass) and Sven Rozier (drums).Au Privave is a well-known blues by Charlie Parker which I often like to start with, almost like a soundcheck tune. Although most of the time a soundcheck is done I found out it's a good idea to play a tune everybody of the band knows very well so we all can get used to the sound of the stage, the presence of the audience and it also gives the sound engineer the chance to adjust microphones last minute. During the soundcheck, the sound of the room is significantly different because of the lack of audience. All that flesh and clothes work a little bit like a totally empty room versus a room with furniture and carpets, if you know what I mean :-)Acoustics are so interesting and full of surprises.. Anyways.. hope you like it! - Yesterday we performed in Ijmuiden during their Zomerfestival at the Foodparc. It was Mavis' birthday and her family joined her on this sunny Sunday afternoon...
