Belgium looking for Nordic talent

Journalist Matthieu Van Steenkiste from belgian music-website goddeau.com is visiting SPOT for the second time. Lots of talented bands to check out, he says, but Danish beer is to expensive ... Matthieu is also a member of the belgian jury selecting danish bands for the Spot on Denmark export initiative in the Benelux countries.

Very scandinavian and tidy

British author and journalist Will Hodgkinson enjoys his SPOT-debut. The festival is - in many respects - far away from the muddy fields of most festivals. He writes regularly for the english newspaper The Guardian and is impressed by the standard of so many bands with a voice of their own. For example Taxi Taxi!, Oh No Ono and Choir of Young Believers.
