Rudi, Johan and myself  too, Guenter and Blues Sissi. They are working on 2 or 3 more artists, but I can't tell you  who they are yet.
I know the names but first; confirmation!

I cross my fingers for Johnny Mastro.
Did you tell Richard Hölscher that there's a great young gun in Albuquerque: Ryan McGarvey?

See you guys there.

Hey Blues Sissi

How are you, we are looking forward to the event this year AGAIN.
I bought my tickets from an online ticket agency last year, do you know who is selling them this year?

I am sure it came from a Dortmund Ticket Company, tickets were Orange in colour.

How come they have moved the Festival two weeks in advance from last year?

I cannot get tickets direct from the Kulturring Site as my card wont work.!!!

Ferry already booked from Hull to Rotterdam.

Might as well grab a case of Grolsch on the way, as we pass the brewery in Holland as we travel on through.

See you soon.

That's so incredible. I'm totally blown away.

I've just found an article at the Dutch bluesmagazine.nl that Ryan won the Ernie Ball Crossroad Contest.

Just remember not to kidnap him like you did Joe for a couple of years.  I'm still waiting for him to make it east of Chicago in the States!  Nice  job Andre - you guys are in for a real treat.
