By now you should be aware that some while ago there has been an official announcement which informs you the end of Bobtjes Blues Pages. Nevertheless, in the current form.

A new official version was released in the summer of 2001 and through the years, the website evaluated to a professional gem. The first few years, the spotlights were set on the promotion of the Belgian and Dutch blues scene.   A little later, we started the additional "blues ... Read more
