AJ Plug (Alexandra Jolanda) wordt gezien als één van de meest indrukwekkende blues-rock ladies die de Nederlandse blues rock en roots scène de laatste jaren heeft voortgebracht. Naast de optredens van haar eigen band tourde AJ Plug dan ook mee in Johan Derksens theatershow, ‘Johan Derksen keeps the Blues Alive’, die in bijna alle theaters in Nederland was te zien. Na het uitbrengen van haar debuut album ‘Let Go Or Be Dragged’ (2014) ging het als een speer met haar carrière. Oktober 2016 brengt ze haar tweede album ‘Chew Chew Chew’ uit die wederom ‘de hemel werd in geprezen’. De carrière van de uit Katwijk aan Zee afkomstige zangeres beland in een sneltreinvaart en ook de tweede cd van de stoere blondine oogst louter jubelende recensies. https://hvdommelen.nl/blues/plug.html

Rick van Osta, Ties Jeeninga, Max Klotz, Mathijs Geurts en Pieter Scheffers. Wij zijn Animal Road. Ons hoofddoel is om mensen te vermaken met onze muziek. De muziek die we maken kan alle kanten in. Zo zijn er nummers die uit de Rock 'n Roll stappen (Downtown Dolly), maar ook nummers die rechtstreeks van de Singer-Songwriter kant komen (Jack Shit!). Zo blijft ieder optreden (en onze Spotify lijst) lekker fris en afwisselend voor iedereen die zijn/haar oor eraan wil lenen. Animal Road is een band met haar roots in de omgeving van Den Bosch. Deze band, bestaande uit een vijftal rockers voorziet de avond van een mooi gevarieerd programma. Het beste samen te vatten als poprock met een ruige rand. Met hun zomerse vibes, harmonieuze samenzang, stevig gitaarwerk en up-tempo nummers maakt Animal Road samen met het publiek van ieder optreden een speciale beleving, waar iedereen zich in kan vinden. https://hvdommelen.nl/a/AnimalRoad.html
🪵 Lordelo: Where Wood Became Identity Long before large factories and modern technology transformed the furniture industry, it was in workshops like this one that the true soul of Lordelo, Paredes was forged. Between the rhythmic sound of the chisel, hammer and hand plane, generations of master craftsmen brought wood to life, transforming simple timber into authentic works of art. Every piece of furniture was created with patience, precision and passion, carrying with it knowledge passed down from one generation to the next. These workshops were much more than workplaces. They were schools of craftsmanship, where people learned a trade, built friendships and created a future for their families. Here, a tradition was born that helped establish Lordelo as one of Portugal's important centres of furniture craftsmanship. Every carving, every detail and every finished piece tells a story of hard work, talent and pride. It is a human and cultural heritage that deserves to be preserved and celebrated, because it represents the identity of a community that found in wood a way to create prosperity, beauty and a future. Today, when we look back at these workshops, we pay tribute to all those men and women who, with skilled hands and tireless dedication, helped make Lordelo a land recognised for the excellence of its craftsmanship. May this memory never be lost. Because a people without memory lose part of their identity. And Lordelo has an extraordinary story to tell. ❤️ Share this post and help preserve the memory of our craftsmen and artisans. The future is built by valuing the roots of the past. #CidadeLordeloParedes #Lordelo #Paredes #Woodworking #Craftsmanship #Heritage #History #Culture #Furniture #Tradition #Memory #LordeloPride
