Dale Watson in Newland (Klaaswaal Holland, again) 

Dale Watson and The Lonestars in concert at Newland in Klaaswaal
As you must have guesst by now; we are Dale Watson fans! So the 28th of october we were back in Klaaswaal at Newland to see Dale Datson preform again.
But before that we had a nice dinner in the Newland Saloon. Good food for a reasonable price and always service with a smile!
As always Gabrie and his wife are sure to make everyone feel welcome and always a kind word and helping hand for disabled guests!

Ruud Hermans Support Act

This time there was a support act. It was the Dutch country singer Ruud Hermans. He had formed a band in just two weeks as they wanted to get out a DVd that was to be recorded the 28th.
Amongsr oters playing in his band were Jacqueline van der Griend and Wim van de Vliert, both members of the band "Cash on Delivery".
It was a nice show and the band prefomed outstanding!
The Ruud Hermans fans went through the roof. For me it was another new experience as I never seen him preform before.

Dale Watson, The concert
But for us the main event was Dale Watson and de Lonestars ('05)
The first part of the show Dale preformed excelent, but as the show was registerd for a DVD he was not as wild as he normaly is :-)
He played all the song we love so much and all request songs were played.
It is amazing to see this guy play and interact wit the crowd/ The number of people he knows by name and also remembers when and were they met.
His fans are more then just fans, they are friends and treated as such.

I guess that's why an evening with Dale is so special.
This one was even more special for Dennis as he was called on the stage by Dale and was presented a beautiful guitar that Dale used to play on and had tagged with him during this tour all the way from Texas.
Dennes now is 15 years old and he first met Dale when he was just 10 years of age in 2000. He came along with his parents. Dennis kept visiting Dale's concerts ever since.
Another thing that makes these concerts so special is that eacht time a meet new people and make new friends.
Last time in Terrassa I met these wonderfull folks from Bilbao and this time this wonderful man (Geert) form Etten-Leur.We had already met at the Newland concert in August, but this time we had a better contact. I guess we will be keeping in touch.

After the show bought two of Dale's earleyer cd's. The 2004 CD 'Dreamland' and as we are getting on towards Christmas I also bought the 'Christmas Time in Texas' CD

The evening was a great succes thanks to Dale and The Lonestars, but also `cuase of the wonderful crowd and not to forget the wonderful service of that staff of Newland.
Well done Gabrie and staff of Newland.
However I hope the next time he DJ will turn down the volume a bit when after the concert people are sitting around an try and talk to eachother (specialy to Dale).
I guess it will be a long time before we will be able to see Dale back in Holland as Dale has decided to take a break for at least 6 months starting 1st Januari 2006.
We alle hope that after that break we will seeing you back in Holland
