The following message concerns a Cajun workshop which will find place in The Netherlands. Most probably only people from Holland will participate. I will write the information in Dutch. Sorry about that !
CAJUN WORKSHOP
Ben je geïnteresseerd in Cajunmuziek en speel je (Cajun)accordeon, viool, gitaar of triangel ? Er is een interessante mogelijkheid om je kennis van de muziek uit te breiden en te oefenen in het samen spelen van deze muziek.
Van donderdag 1 mei (hemelvaartsdag) tot zondag 4 mei organiseert Trekharmonicavereniging "Woarom nie" een harmonica weekend. Onder andere zal er door Bas van der Poll, accordeonist bij The Cajun Company (ikzelf dus), een Cajunworkshop gegeven worden. In deze workshop zal hij (bijna) alles behandelen wat met het spelen van Cajunmuziek te maken heeft en gaan we oefenen in het samen spelen. Uit de deelnemers zullen enkele Cajunbands samengesteld worden die aan het eind van het harmonicaweekend nog gaan optreden ook !.
Als je interesse hebt en je speelt één van de bovengenoemde instrumenten: klik dan hier voor meer informatie.

There's some delay with the manufacturing of the new CD. Both the CD label and the booklet contain quite some errors. The whole job has to be done over. This will take another few weeks. We're so sorry. Please check the site later for more information.
But the good news is: For those who are unpatient and/or (very) curious: I added three extra songs of the new CD. (See "Discography".) On page 2 and 3 (Discography) I added 6 extra songs of the previous albums. Enjoy !

I (Bas) added some music. Go to the "Discography" page and click "play" behind the song.
These are mp3 files which will be played in your local media player. You can also download the song (!). And these are no 10 second samples, but complete tracks ! Of course, the quality of the original CD is much better than these compressed mp3 files. But, no problem, you can order the CD if you like the music. (See the "Contact page".)
