Fanmail from Hamburg (D)

Getting real letters by post is fun! The thought that the person on the other side takes time to send you something, is very pleasant! We've got fanmail from Arnold Meyer, Hamburg Germany, who wrote that we were sparkling again with 2 photo's in the program magazine of the IDF Dresden 2012. He sent us a copy of that page. We hope to see Arnold at the schlemmermarket in Wassenberg (D), or next year at the 43th IDF in Dresden!

Oakcity Jazzband (Maaseik, Belgium)


This Belgian band, formed in 1995, gave herself - according to her hometown of Maaseik - the name "Oakcity jazz band." Through its broad repertoire one is surprised, and they play with great devotion and unusual arrangements from swing to blues to Dixieland.

Special trademark of the band, best performing in street parades, are trilingual texts in French, German and English and their direct dealings with the public. At her performance to the Elbe-Dixie in 2009, they became very quickly darling of the public.
