Eigenlijk vond ik Ierse folk al heel lang ,heel mooi.Vandaar dat ik toen ik 18 was,al in de rij stond voor een handtekening van o.a. Frenk van Meeteren en Lenneke Willems in ''De dansende beer''in Scheveningen,na hun optreden met ''King's Galliard''. BECAUSE a lot OF THE VISITORS on my site do talk English, I tried to make a translation(more to follow)
HOUSECONCERTS in the Hague
In fact I liked Irish folkmusic for a long time very much. Because of that,I stood waiting ,when I was 18 for signing my lp record by Frenk van Meeteren and Lenneke Willems after their performance with Kings Galliard,in "de Dansende Beer" in Scheveningen. And this summer I invited them to play in my lounge,during my first SUMMERFOLK and they did…!!! Because when something is on the rails….a lot can happen… Since 2004 I m really into folk,I went often to see gigs of RAPALJE,in fact they gave a concert for me in "de Fuut" on the beach of Scheveningen,in Summer 2007,I became a fan of Dougie mcLean,went to folkfestivals in Pitlochry,Warwick and Sidmouth,and liked it very much,so much music,so much talent. Meanwhile I meet Maarten Willems,Dutch singer/songwriter.He let me enjoy his own Dutch songs ,with beautiful sensible lyrics.He played gigs in my lounge,as a starter for the present houseconcerts,in the middle of the lounge,sometimes Irish folk in the duo "Salty Dog" with Frank Verlaan,later in the folkgroup "Lucky Spoons" with also Govert Willems,a few times solo with his own songs,sometimes together with Frenk van Meeteren. Because of him it al started up,and I hope he will still singing in between… When I meet SarahmcQuaid in 2007,during the folkfestival in Sidmouth I asked her to play a gig in the intimate atmosphere of my lounge.She thought that was nice to do,and because of that she was the first artist from oversea.This was in march 2008 and ever since a lot seems to happen. I enjoy to watch all this soloartists in my home performing and I m very pleased with the enthusiastic people,who want to be the audience. This site was made to show the calendar clearly,to put photos and videos on( you tube) to share the memories with you. Love Karin.

Houseconcert at Karin sounds a little bit boring.Who knows a nice name? How about folk in the lounge? Or something with a sheep,perhaps you saw allready I like sheep,there are a lot of them in my lounge,and afer Daithi started it up ,I like to start a tradition and ask every other artist to be on the picture with my biggest sheep.(see pictures) Till so far they like this idea,Pete Morton even started to talk to him in my garden. If you think you know a nice name,mail me: dougiefan20004@hotmail.com
