Go See Buddy Wakefield!

All right, so Buddy Wakefield is touring Europe. Buddy is one of my favourite spoken word poets, the real deal (you can find out more about him here). He does not cross the ocean that often. I went to see him in Oxford two days ago and he was mind-blowingly good, and the two girls who are touring with him - Andrea Gibson and Katie Wirsing - are great as well. Funnily enough, even though Buddy has performed to crowds of 10 000 people before, there were about 35 of us in the club that night, which only made the whole thing even more intimate and magical.

So my point is: you should go see him! He has another few dates in the UK (including London - are you listening, Myriam & Clarissa?) and then two gigs in Germany. The whole list is here.
Don't miss it!

roland - I know... on the other hand, I drove 200 km to see him and I feel it was worth it

daan - buddy has actually lived in Rotterdam for a while and seems to have pretty good memories from the Netherelands, so he might be in Amsterdam sooner than you'd expect :)
