Oorstof newsletter
First Oorstof concerts fall 2016
Once again the Oorstof funding file is judged as good instead of very good. This means the Flemish Government will not support Oorstof and all the artists involved. So much for the support that committee members always pretended to have, thanks guys. We do value all the encouraging words of support we are getting from artists and visitors alike but a negative impact it will have this time. Not least for the young artists for which the support is very much needed and asked for in the first place.
We are of course proud that last August about 400 people showed up for the Dropa Disc label launch. And if you haven’t already you can get the 2 lp’s and the book we released at one of the upcoming Oorstof shows starting on Thursday September 29th at Het Bos with Mike Watt (Minutemen), Eve Libertine (Crass) and GW Sok (the Ex) who will bring respectively Il Sogno Del Marinaio, King Champion Sounds and Baby Fire to show how relevant they still are. On October 6th we move to DE Studio for the world premiere of the stellar duo Mars Baars (Mars Williams & Ab Baars), the Momentum Trio with members of Large Unit and a piano solo touching on Alice Coltrane and Cecil Taylor by Ka Baird.
And there’s more to come this fall. Take a look at our brand new web site soundinmotion.be, get your pre-sale price reservation and we hope to see you all in large numbers, Oorstof and all the artists involved need your support more than ever …
