  • Bio

    HOTEL is serieus groovende band met een groeiende live reputatie, hun zeer dansbare feelgood muziek is warm, open en spontaan, altijd kwalitatief en vernieuwend zonder pretentieus te zijn. De vier muzikanten die aan de wieg van HOTEL stonden zijn Claudio Encina, Stefijn Lehr, Arjan Amin en Hans Koning die vanuit nul ieder met zijn eigen achtergrond een repertoire bij elkaar jamden. Invloeden van Santana, War, Mongo Santamaria, Herbie Mann, Mano Negra, Third World, Cubaanse son en salsa, jazz en (Nuyorican) soul fuseren tot een origineel idioom. Ze kunnen serieuze liedjes neerzetten maar vooral live ook vlammen en knallen. HOTEL speelde op diverse grote festivals zoals Lowlands (Magneetbar), Totaalfestival, Robodock, Havenfestival, Fusion Festival (D), Polé Polé (B), Noorderslag 2009. Ze tourden eerder door Griekenland, Frankrijk, Duitsland, Belgie, Bosnie, Montenegro, Servie and Kroatie. In 2008 hebben zij hun cd 'the world of HOTEL' gepresenteerd in PARADISO en vorig jaar de NOORDERSLAG editie afsluiten. Op 11 september jl hebben ze in een volgeladen Melkweg hun tweede album uitbundig en succesvol gepresenteerd aan het publiek. Het dak ging eraf!

  • David Franks: Walkabout…

    After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on MySpace...

    Poem cum song 5 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my Blog for details):
    STATE TO STATE

    (TUNE:

    C F G F

    From Sydney Town,
        In uni. break,
    I drove out west
        To earnings make
    Onion picking,
        On the fields
    Of Echuca,
        That year’s yields.

    After day’s work,
        From Y.H.A.,
    A group of us
        Would not delay
    To walk on down
        To the dirt rim
    Of the Murray,
        For a cool swim.

    On one such day,
        I do declare,
    Some three of us
        Had a big dare
    To swim across,
        From state to state,
    The wide Murray -
        I took the bait.

    Yes, foolishly,
        I took the bait -
    A choice that I
        Would come to hate,
    For I almost
        Did drown that date,
    Making the swim
        From state to state.
