I just love going to concerts in various genres, singer-songwriter, pop, rock, punk, jazz, etc. I also visit parties when I can. Mostly techno/electro/disco...
Some of my favorite artists: Barbara Breedijk, Leine, Kirsten, Sheryl Crow, Diana Krall, TAT, Una Healy, Heather Nova, Bob Seger, John Mellencamp, Juliette and the Licks, too much to mention here really...
I used to photograph at concerts quite often, and after a three year break I'm starting it again. Currently I'm taking photos for 3voor12 (local). You can see some of the photos here on my myspace profile. You might also want to check out my website at http://www.live-in.nl/ although I haven't updated it since 2003 ;)
Please ASK ME FIRST before using my photos somewhere else (print or website)!
More later ;)
Take care-

Good venues for singer/songwriters and acoustic performances wanted
I'm trying to compile a list of nice venues, pubs, etc that are good for singer/songwriters or acoustic performances. Places where people come to listen to the music, instead of talking all the time. Places where there is a good atmosphere!
The focus will be mainly on The Netherlands, but any other country is fine...
So, if you happen to know of these places, please let me know and I'll start compiling a list here. Thanks!
