This is such a good initiative to give a balladeer the International recognition they deserve. I'm following you guys since the try out in de Melkweg before Keane in 2004. I met you guys before the Zeeland Nazomer Festival gig and Marinus after the show. I hope everything's going well in order to the preparations for the new album. I'm currently in China and some local people from Shanghai like the Panama album as well, maybe it's time to plan an Asian tour? ;)
