Fantastic news and development for the
Concept Family:


Since our partnering with Ray and BLUE GATE MEDIA in Hamburg, Germany we've created our own child: Blue Bridge Network International. Please Check out our website at www.bluebridge-network.com. We've been generating quite a bit of interest over there and managed to create a nice little momentum - the beginning of something great!!

>>The Banana Peel Club in Ruiselede (B) is turning 40 years young in October and no one less than "Little Freddie King" will be flying in to celebrate this milestone with the venue. This will be the only European date on this trip and a very special treat for Franky and his members on this very special occasion. Congratulations!

>>BOBBY PARKER and MEMPHIS GOLD just returned from a brief trip into Sweden, where they both performed incredible shows at the big Monsteras Blues Festival, Bobby headlining Friday night. They earned themselves standing ovations by fans, press and media representatives alike. Welcome back Bobby and Chet

>>Welcome back  NIGEL MACK from a great European stint in May, including fabulous appearances at the Kwadendamme Blues Festival (NL), Blues Route On Tour (NL), the Eutin Blues Festival (GER), Assen Blues Tage (NL) and the Breda Jazz Festival (NL). Nigel's first trip into Europe certainly can be celebrated as a very successful introduction as a brand new artist to the overseas audiences.

>>James Rogers will take his first steps into Europe, as he will perform at the "Arrows BIg River Blues Festival" in Dortrecht (NL) in August!!!

>>Wes Mackey will be performing at the First Scala Blues Festival in Kempten (CH) in November and continue to tour in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

>>October will see LIL' JIMMY REED's first club tour in Europe, with a string of shows mainly in France, including 2 back-to-back weekends at the legendary QUAY DU BLUES in Paris. If things work out, the one and only Janice Harrington will join him for these shows as a special guest.

>> Welcome aboard the Concept family: JW Jones and his Blues Band, who will go back into Europe after almost 3 years for a brief re-introduction in November and a more extensive tour in April/May 2007.

Since we've become full-time in October last year, also a lot of wonderful things started to happen for us on the local level and I would like to thank all the artists who allowed me to take care of their more home grown affairs, as well as the local promoters for their warm welcoming and support. I'm looking forward to a lot good stuff to happen........

>> As always our sincere thanks to our Dutch brother Bert "Beej" Harte and everybody at Showdown Blues.
