  • First theater production of Flemish actress Elle Van Knoll

    22 Jul 2015 22:25 | Webmaster VCL (Administrator)

    Elle van Knoll is a Flemish actress who recently graduated in theater studies in London. 

    She is now laying the last hand on her first production, "We just keep going", a play she wrote herself and in which she plays the lead role. 

    The story starts as a typical relationship between a teenager and her mother but quickly turns into more than meets the eye, as the past and the men in their lives keep finding a way to come between them. As we see daughter Ruby growing into a young adult, she and her mother Susan try to forge their fragile relationship. The result is a hysterically funny and heartbreaking story about family, unconditional love and facing the unfaceable.

    "We just keep going" which will be played in Islington's Hen&Chickens Theatre Bar from 1 to 19 September 2015. Tickets can be bought here.

  • Geppetto & the Whales at Hoxton Bar, London.

    22 Nov 2014 10:50 | Anonymous
    On December 17th the Belgian band Geppetto & the Whales will play a show at Hoxton Bar in London.

    Putting the band in a specific corner/genre is pretty difficult, maybe some Midlake - The Doors - Strand Of Oaks - Fleet Foxes - My Morning Jacket - Ravi Shankar - The War On Drugs …
    It’s Psychedelic, it’s Americana, a bit Folky and now and then Poppy …
     
    The band sounds mature and young at the same time, it blends beautiful little melodies with overwhelming soundscapes.
    They don’t follow the basic-rules of songwriting and they’re the masters in singing in harmonies.
     
    The average age of the band is 22, but the band doesn’t sound like that, old souls in a young body?

    Sounds interesting? Why don't you listen to their album.
    Quotes:
    “It has become a pure, often Beatlesque, record on which the songs aren't stuffed with more than it needs, and on which the beautiful three-part harmony jumps in the eye. Songs as Jonathan, Heads and 1814 are accompanied by bright and pure melodies, and the music breaths in a wide, rustic atmosphere..." De Morgen ★★★★ 

    "The guys from Geppetto & The Whales have finished their debut album Heads of Woe by which they share a perfectly aimed shot against the winter blues." Focus Knack.

    "The other half of the record shares this high standard, so it's hard not to be impressed. It's still early 2014 but this might already be THE Belgian Release of 2014." GoForMusic     ★★★★

    "On their debut album, the band proves it is up for the bigger job. Even though it's not an 'easy' record, 'Heads of Woe' blooms a bit more every time you listen to it." Gazet Van Antwerpen ★★★★

    "We truly wish them a big breakthrough. And with this record it might even work out. DaMusic

    "Mellifluous listening-pop. Their close harmony makes you gasp for breath more than once... Lots of adventure, pomp and circumstance, wrapped in a beautiful package. Thumbs up! Rif Raf

  • WW1 commemoration: Belgian refugees in Rhyl

    22 Jul 2014 12:00 | Anonymous
    The beautiful Welsh seaside town of Rhyl was one of the places were Belgian refugees in Britain stayed during the first World War. In light of the WW1 commemorations, the town has now done a research project about these refugees and has asked us to share the result with our members, so please have a look at their website.


    Of course, you can also go and have a look at Rhyl itself and you will find more information about the area on facebook, on the local tourist information website or on the regional equivalent.
