Soundwest - Forgotten Musical Pearls

A PERFORMANCE ABOUT THE MUSICAL PAST OF SOUTH-WEST FLANDERS. The 27 Club consists of musicians who died when they were 27 years old. Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain are part of it. Did you know that this famous and fictional association unfortunately also has a member from South-West Flanders? Newspaper headlines like The King of Swing and The Great Virtuoso of the Accordion are not just given to you. Yet they were feathers that a musician from Kruiseke was allowed to put on his hat and instrument. Did you know that there is a link between Kuurne, the festival I Love Techno in Ghent and the world-famous techno temple Fuse in Brussels? And that the popular computer game Grand Theft Auto turned a song from Wevelgem into a world hit? You cannot ignore an LP titled Van Lauwe to Las Vegas. Because it shows that Lucien became a International Singing Star. Kwam Lily Diamond, the singer from Kuurne, really from Kuurne? How come the Amerikaanse Donna Hightower appears in this performance? Gids Jurgen Creyf takes you to the musical past of South-West Flanders. With a flight case full of stories, anecdotes, photos and of course audio and video fragments, he brings Vergeten Muzikale Parels.
