Friday, august 14, 1992 Antilliaanse Feesten, Minderhout (Hoogstraten)

The Skatalites for the first show in Belgium This is another event, that has survived the last 25 years. Website today: antilliaansefeesten.be The residence for that night was the Motel Dennenhof, the same, that was host after the arrival in Brussels (see august 12). I haven’t found any more details for that event. Personally I was preparing my trip to Saint-Nazaire and my first NoF-NoF Session. I have no souvenir from that day before everything started, so please come back tomorrow to read about my first bicycle ride to Neuchâtel and all the next days on the bicycle until Saint-Nazaire

Wednesday, august 12, 1992 arrival Bruxelles | Skatalites, Euro Tour 1992

Skatalites European 92 Tour Itinerary a worldBEAT production Today is the 25th anniversary of that first ever Skatalites Euro Tour from 1992. This blog will publish day by day,  what happened 25 years ago. After the tour, I brought 10 of these shirts back to Switzerland as presents to some friends and family. Vin of worldBEAT gave me the tour rider after the tour. Maybe not everything in the rider really happened that way. But it’s not that easy to find out more details. Maybe it’s helpful when I post this blog. Maybe someone have some pictures or straight informations.

November 18, 1996, Monday, travel back home

34th day, Antwerp, Belgium, Monday, 18th of november 1996, travel back home day The Skasplash tour 1996 is over. Over for me. The rest of the crew is leaving for London. I won’t be part of the team. Nobody really understand that. I know that money is part of the understanding. The vans are leaving in the morning. Nathan says goodbye. I remember, that he said, I was important for the succeeding of the tour and that I made the tour nicer. All the goodbyes are from the heart and full of hugs. I just go back into the hotel to pick up Rolando
