Hi, I'm Kris. I live in Ghent together with my girlfriend in a very cosy cité. We like living here a lot, but we hope to move one day to the countryside to get some more space and quietness. I teach in primary school to six-year olds. Learning them how to read, write, maths...teach them everything actually ;-) It's a nice job, but sometimes it can take a lot of energy. Spare time ? Well, I'm secretary of musicclub N9 in Eeklo for quite some years (11) now. I started as a volunteer bartender like everyone in our club ;-). It's really cool, as you get the opportunity to meet a lot of artists and other people. N9 is a great place with an excellent programmation ! You should visit us one day ! Music is the biggest hobby of my life. I see lots of concerts during the year and I collect lots of music. I like to organise small concerts (in our livingroom or somewhere else) and festivals as well. Other hobbies ? I do some mountainbike from time to time and some badminton. I used to play badminton in competition but unfortunately there's no time for that anymore...Other interests ? Travelling, good food (I love italian and japanese ! ), my Landrover Defender, wine, old stuff, vintage, 70'ies, to get to know new people,...What else would you like to know about me ? Just ask, I won't bite ;-) Myspace is great ! Bye !
Go to ImageShack to Create your own SlideshowSoirée Cité was a piece of theater that was played at our cité in Ghent in september 2006. It was played by Collectief Fictief from Eeklo. Subject was the marriage between Katja en Benny and how their neighbours responded to that. The stage was our house and the 11 others from our neighbours. They used the livingroom, the kitchen, first floor, they even acted in our bed ;-)...It was a unique piece that was played 4 times for a sold out crowd. For myself it was my debut as an actor. Unforgetable !
Baby Dee was our guest for 2 days in september 2007. She played in Eeklo a great concert with piano and harp. You can see soms pics from the concert above. Afterwards Dee stayed 2 days at our house in Ghent where she played an unforgetable houseconcert for 30 people. You can see some pics from that concert underneath. It was our second houseconcert that we organised. Dee is a great person and a superb artist. You should check her out, she's amazing ! On sunday Dee and I went to the city centre to meet up with some old friends at Pink Flamingo's. Dee, thanks so much for comming to our place !
Whip (aka Jason Merritt from Timesbold) came to play at our house here in Ghent for my 30th birthday on february 7th 2008. As a longtime fan I couldn't have imagined a better birthday present. It was an unforgetable gig with some Whip/Timesbold classics and some new songs ! Our cat was the support act ;-) Jay, thanks a lot man ! We enjoyed it very much !This is a new song from Whip from the houseconcert on february 7th 2008. It was the very first time Whip played this one, there's no title yet...But one of my favourites of the evening.On february 6th 2008 I celebrated my 30th birthday. I asked Silver Junkie, a great band from Brussels, to play at our house. A few months before I was stunned by their EP "Midtown Walk" so it was an honour to have them for my birthday. We got to know Tino and Lydia by coincidence at mutual friends. They are people who I admire because of their belief in their project, and also because they choose the difficult way to make their dream come true. You guys rock !! ;-) Silver Junkie played here as a trio with Tino Biddeloo (voice, piano, guitar), Nik Phelps (saxophone, trumpet) and Paul Pollmann (guitar, diatonic accordeon, piano, silver flute and bandoneon). It was a great concert ! I think some new friendships were made that evening. Tino, Lydia, Paul, Nik, Kathleen...a big thanks to you to make this evening possible !! These pics were made by Kathleen Steegmans.On saturday march 29th our friend Bherman played a wonderful concert in our livingroom togheter with Geert Simoen on percussion. I hope it won't be the last time they were here ;-) Respect to you guys !! Later on the evening Charles Frail played his first concert ever in Belgium. After his performance we all thought that he is a great talent and that it won't be his last gig here. The next day he played Paradiso Main Room...Charles Frail...remember his name. Underneath are some pics.
