Belgium in Your Living Room

Some forms of live music seems to be flourishing in the most intimate settings, so that’s why Live in Your Living Room organizes concerts... you guessed it... in your living room. An exceptional project at Eurosonic Noorderslag is exactly that: for three consecutive days a number of living rooms in Groningen will be venues for just such concerts. Every evening, a particular city is highlighted and on January 15, that will be Ghent. The concerts start at 20h00 at Gijs van Veldhuizen’s house, at Noorderbinnensingel 3A in Groningen.
