Our first concert for Nepal

On the 26th of June we organised a small festival in our garden. We had 5 performers/bands who participated on a volunteer basis: Denny Chantrain, Gus Luxmore, Choco La Mousse, De Vets Band & Zonko. What initially started as a birthday party with some gifts for Nepal grew gradually "be it small" to a concert with 373 visitors 60 volunteers and 22 artists. The whole crew of "Make the switch" started to put their shoulders under the project with a first meeting in our garden where the concert would take place.

Count down






Everything got ready in time thanks to the many volunteers (+/-60). We were hoping the weather would remain dry despite some raindrops and some windy moments around late afternoon. Everybody was dedicated to make it a success.

Further preparations for the concert






It was beautiful weather something quite unusual for Belgium. Everybody worked hard and according to their belief and capacity.
