Topic: Leif de Leeuw wins the Dutch Blues Challenge. !!!

If you don't remember him, start by reading this smile  https://forum.jbonamassa.com/viewtopic.php?id=11966   
Flash forward to this weekend. It's a long song but around 5:50 it takes off smile   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWExOrX … e=youtu.be 

If anybody goes to the IBC's in Memphis, make sure you say hello and tell him you're from Joe's forum. He's a really sweet young man wink

Wow! He's come a long way. I remember it well when he first came here. Making Joe proud.

I watched that youtube video probably 5 times last night and he is just spectacular! He had me in a total trance when he went off in his solo, just like how Joe does. He totally deserved winning that!

I watched it a couple of times, too. Wow, this guy can play! His tone and the clarity of his notes is absolutely spectacular! Thanks so much for posting about him, we'll have to keep on the look out for him in the future.

Leaping lizards! Lief de Leeuw is Ludicrous on that guitar!
Got a little JB influence there perhaps.

I was there and they were incredible. During that solo he got the audience totally quiet (the house was packed). Leif is a very nice guy too. And I really think Britt is a very good singer! It was a very nice day, the other contestants were very good too. The blues level in NL is quiet good wink
