Streetparade Festival Celle (D)




Friday evening was to cold to have a summer atmosphere, nevertheless we had a lovely audience totally "in the mood".
Saturday was crowded, and from everywhere visitors of this festival gathered around us. Our meeting with the "Efkes Anders Jasskapel" from Eindhoven was cheerful, and we all loved it! When we marched from place to place, a lot of happy people joined us in the "Second Line". Fantastic!
We like to thank Sylvie again for being a charming guide!

Did you see the little boy as our special guest star with Rhythm-eggs?

Breda Jazz Festival


by Charlotte Akkermans

click here for a slide show.

Also in Breda, it was very crowded this year. 300.000 visitors at 4 days, as we heard from the press.
Vivi, a sweet lovely Sealand lady, lead us from the haven to the marketplace, where we gave the best of us on several cosy places. Our audience loved it! Everywhere they applauded, cheered and many, many pictures were made.

It is very kind of the festival organisation to send us a press article. We were frontpage news in BN De Stem on saturday Mai 23! (see slideshow)

We hope to be at the Breda Jazzfestival 2010, on their 40st edition! Then we can celebrate together our Oakcity 15 Years Jubilee!

P.S. Photo's or video's of the Oakcity Jazzband during this festival are always welcome if you send them!
