Carel Kraayenhof and Thirza Lourens are going to Beirut, Lebanon.

Currently it is cold and bleak outside, just as the climate in the music culture in the Netherlands. The music market here is just as solid as the housing market. But we are not going let this get us down. A new year offers new opportunities. Aad Ouborg, the founder of Princess, is taking us to Beirut in the Middle Eaat to explore the music-business there. After five sold-out concerts in his theater in Breda we asked Mr Ouborg if he could introduce Carel Kraayenhof in these countries. On his advice and his personal guard, we start in Beirut.

We’ll update our travel journal on this website and on Carel Kraayenhof’s Facebook page from February 9th  to 15, 2012.
