“WE BRING BLUES LOVERS BACK TOGETHER AGAIN IN THIS AREA”

Back in the winter of 2022, whilst sat on a beach somewhere hot, I received this message “ Sean, you live in Giethoorn and I think a blues festival with the title “Sean Webster International Blues festival “ held in De Meenthe would be a great idea. Interested?…… Call me, Han Evers “ Wow, was my first thought, a blues festival held in my name at a great location, I have to investigate further. So we arranged a meeting and the festival was born.

After securing an explosive line up for the festival with Ian Siegal, The Strikes, King of the World, Kai Straus, Sean Webster, Cubys Blues (Erwin Java e.a.) and Popa Chubby among others, I spoke with Mr television himself. Mr Johan Derksen who when asked if he could help in anyway, suggested that he come for the whole day and introduce the bands for the 2 main stages.

I am really looking forward to the festival, not only because I am playing myself in my own “ back garden “ but also the chance to bring blues lovers back together again in this area, and with a guitar stand ( where the public can try out guitars ) various food and drinks areas, a top class line-up and the amazing Johan Derksen around for the whole day, this promises to put Steenwijk back on the blues map of Holland where it belongs. – Sean Webster
