Never Enough!!

Amsterdam Bluesfestival

Jarenlang heeft Amsterdam haar eigen Bluesfestival gehad. Dit festival werd voor de eerste keer georganiseerd door Martin van Olderen (N.B.B.O.) in 1983. Alle edities hebben plaats gevonden in de Meervaart. Zelf ben ik bij alle festivals aanwezig geweest. Over dit festival is echter niets te vinden op het internet. In het onderstaande overzicht staan de gegevens van alle jaargangen. Heeft u nog aanvullingen of verdere informatie(ook foto's zijn welkom) die van belang zijn, dan ontvang ik deze gaarne per mail. Mijn mailadres is: monde40@zonnet.nl.
