ACHTERGRONDINFORMATIE ** BACKGROUND

1st MAY 

In this show, we focus on the first of May as we wish to remind you and  to remind ourselves of the struggle by millions and millions of people, a struggle for dignity and equality. We at Radio 68 think peace and love are of a higher value than war and hatred. None of our rights have been granted automatically, each and every right has been fought for and, regretfully, came with a price called bloodshed and massacre. This show focuses on the first of May – lest we forget that today is not a copy of yesterday and doesn’t guarantee a similar tomorrow.
In MY GENERATION and in BLUESISIDE, Radio 68 plays songs of protest, resistance, love, understanding and peace by a variety of acts In various languages, such as The Rascals, Michel Polnareff, Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger, Paul Revere, JB Lenoir, Junior Wells, Canned Heat, Big bill Broonzy and so on.

1 MEI

In dit programma staat 1 mei in de schijnwerpers, omdat we u en onszelf er willen aan herinneren dat miljoenen en miljoenen mensen hebben gestreden voor gelijkheid en waardigheid. Wij van Radio 68 menen dat  vrede en liefde hogere waarden zijn dan oorlog en haat,. We herinneren er aan Geen enkele van de rechten die we zo vanzelfsprekend vinden er  automatisch is  gekomen, voor elk recht werd gevochten, en helaas was er ook vaak een prijs aan verbonden: die van bloedvergieten. Dit programma gaat over 1 mei, opdat we niet zouden vergeten dat vandaag geen kopie is van gisteren en morgen er niet vanzelf als vandaag zal uitzien.
Zowel in MY GENERAtION als BLUESIDE kan je luisteren naar liedjes over vrede, protest, weerstand, enzoverder, gebracht door een verscheiden reeks artiesten in diverse talen, zoals JAN DE WILDE, The Rascals, Michel Polnareff, Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger, Paul Revere, JB Lenoir, Junior Wells, Canned Heat, Big bill Broonzy, etc.

GRAPEFRUIT

“When the Young family immigrated to Australia from Glasgow in 1963, elder brother and multi-instrumentalist Alex Young chose to remain in the UK. During the early 1960s he worked in Germany with soul band, The Bobby Patrick Big Six where he became friends with The Beatles. On his return to London in 1967, the renamed George Alexander used his connections with the Fab Four to secure a song-writing deal with Apple Publishing. Joining forces with former members of Tony Rivers & The Castaways and named by John Lennon, Alexander’s band Grapefruit found moderate chart success before disbanding in late 1969. Back in May 1968, Alexander had reunited with younger brother George Young, The Easybeats’ rhythm guitarist and half of a song-writing partnership with lead guitarist Harry Vanda and their reunion led to a future collaboration. (…) Like Grapefruit, The Easybeats were on their last legs by late 1969 and so the three song-writers decided to pool resources. Over the next four years, the trio masterminded a cache of superbly crafted recordings, issued under a bewildering number of aliases”.

BLUEBIRD

“Jonge band, oude ziel. Blues met Gentse roots, dat is Bluebird in een paar woorden. De band liet zich al meermaals opmerken tijdens de intussen legendarische bluesjams met Lightnin’ Guy en Tiny Legs Tim in de Missy Sippy Gent.

Bluebird brengt doorleefde songs met harmonicasolo’s die refereren naar de tijd dat blues a way of life was, met echo’s van Walter Horton, Sonny Boy Williamson 1 én 2, George Harmonica Smith, James Cotton en Little Walter. De gitaren spreken, huilen en fluisteren op het juiste moment. De backbeat is steady-groovy en heeft een borstelige-soft-touch. De band neemt het publiek mee op een tocht door de Mississippi Delta en passeert langs de Chicago blues-scene, waar ze obscure jaren 1930-40 bluessongs wegritsen.
De band:
They are soulful and know how to play the blues
They have their own style and their own grooves
The pounding heart of the band, Natan Goessens
Six strings, a whole lot of hair and good grooves, Kasper Van de Ponseele
Your joker, on vocals and harp, Matis Cooreman
The handsome boy, guitar thunder Lajos Tauber
All together: Bluebird !”
