Forty Licks Fanclub is organizing a huge international Stones convention, called the FLF Bigger Bash. This is to take place in Amsterdam by the end of July, when the Stones are playing there.
Parts of the programme privided by the juf:
- Several leading art galleries in Amsterdam & Rotterdam will exhibit Stones related art (paintings of Ronnie Wood, Philip Townsend pics, Corbijn, etc.)
- We will welcome the Stones outside the Amstel Hotel in a traditional Dutch way.....!
- FLF has organized a jazz gig for Tim Ries at the Amsterdam jazz venue the Bimhuis, to take place on 29/7, the Rolling Stones Project, feat. B.Fowler, Michael Davis etc.
- Stonesfans from all over the planet gather at Paradiso club on 31 July (in between the two Amsterdam Stones concerts) for the Bigger Bash, a convention with lectures, exhibition of Stones collections, canal boat trips, books, cds, dvds, attendance of Stones celebs (Pat Andrews, Dick Hattrell, Dick Taylor), and a Bigger Band at night(tba, but very, very special!).
We can assure you that this will be one of the biggest Stones gatherings the planet has ever known!!!!!!!!!
FLF looks forward to welcoming fans from everywhere. See you in Amsterdam!

Can we expect you in Amsterdam?

yes, FLF is NOT selling pot , but it is available on the other end of the street(on the Leidseplein) . Part of the Amsterdam experience. |

ok, the first act for Paradiso 31/7 has been confirmed:
Chris Jagger's Atcha!
Chris has just released a great new album, called 'Act of Faith", with a contribution of his brother Mick: 'DJ Blues'. The album will also be available at Paradiso on 31/7.
FLF will start selling tickets soon via Ticketmaster.com, but don't worry, it will be announced on RO as well! For those who want to be updated first: there is a free newsletter in English, subscription via www.fortylicksfanclub.com.

we had a meeting on the BB yesterday ,the programme is just getting better and better! For fans from outside Holland who want to attend the Bigger Bash on 31 July: tickets will soon be sold via the internet (Ticketmaster). Tickets for Tim Ries' gig on 29 July are sold via the Bimhuis. Please note: These are two separate gigs!
For those who still require Stones tix for 30 July and 1 August: IORR is also a great help when it comes to buying Stones tickets. Please beware of so-called ticket offices on the internet: nine out of ten are a complete rip-off! However, there are some tickets available via the FLF website, go to 'Nederlands, Tickets Europa'. These are offered on a non-profit basis by Dutch fans, but please note that FLF is NOT responsible for the consequences of the transactions. If you need any help, please do not hesitate to send an email.

There will be a stage built in the Amsterdam ArenA! There was a rumour that European stadiums would be too small to have the stage, but RS fanasylum sent an email yesterday telling that the European tour will bring the stage to some larger venues.
But Paradiso has its own stage.......

Shame they didn't have some of these activities planned when I saw the Stones in Amsterdam back in 2003 (lousy concert as I remember- great setlist but the performance & sound were way below average). However, the experience itself was incredible. Spent a few afternoons wasted away in the Grasshopper.
Love the entire Leidseplein scene. Great place to unwind at night (food, beer, and anything else that might strike your fancy). Always spend some TIME at a place called Rookies while I'm in town. Leidseplein is good for one's soul and spirit. |

that is because Forty Licks Fanclub didn't exist at the time. we all met outside the Amstel hotel and our chairman Robin Scherrenburg suggested we start up FLF. Hence the name. We made a tentative start in autumn 2003 and the very first website was launched in 2004. Now we try our very best to organize concert trips(NY,London,Cardiff and Barcelona), fan gatherings and do all kind of promotional activities. Organizing the BB is a dream come true, but it is bloody hard work, 24/7, since we all have our jobs and families.... but it will be worth it! |

what are the ticket prices for the FLF Bigger Bash @ paradiso???
Michael |
|
|
| thejuf |
We cannot tell yet, since we are still busy finalizing the programme, but it will be affordable .
It is our wish to share a great time with Stonesfans; ripping off fans is definitely NOT part of our programme.
Hopefully very soon we will be able to inform RO about prices of Tim Ries' gig at the Amsterdam Bimhuis and the FLF BB! |

ok! that's good news!
i hope it stays under the 100 euro's
i already spend enough money on tickets and stuff like that, so if the FLF is asking a nice price i'll go for it, if not, i'll have to let it go y'know
but i'll wait and see....
thanks for the info Juf
by the way, why aren't you a member of the Dutch Stonesforum.nl anymore?
we miss you!!!
