As I wrote in this post we were in Almelo for a few days. Luckily this coincided with the dutch band Barrelhouse playing in the local pub Proeflokaal Belgie.
I had heard from them years ago and frankly didn't know they were still around. It turned out one of the friends we were away with knows one of their guitar players so that's how we got to know about it in the first place. We arrived early and settled at the bar (that stocked plenty of good Belgium beer, of course), in time to watch the band come in and set up their instruments. Amazing to know that the band started over thirty years ago and they're still travelling around in a rented van playing small pubs like this. It was a great concert, you can tell they are really doing it because they love the music.
Take a listen on their myspace page.
Below a YouTube video for your viewing pleasure.
