Here's one for old prog rockers of a certain age. Who remembers the Dutch band Focus? Their lead guitarist Jan Akkerman, who in the 1970s many people thought was vying with Clapton for the title Best Rock Guitarist in the World, turned 70 this year. To celebrate this fact, he has been giving a series of concerts in his homeland, the last of which is next Saturday in Ede. I'm driving up to see him, setting off from my home here in Spain on Wednesday and hoping I can fight my way through the French yellow jacket protesters. I'm also going to take in the Excelsior Rotterdam v FC Utrecht Dutch premier league match on the friday evening. Wish me luck!
Focus are also live in Rotterdam on 7th December and Weert on the 9th December.

Cheers, Kimo Sabe.
That'll be the band with Thuis van Leer (the yodeller) and a bunch of youngsters playing the other parts. My mate saw 'em a year or two ago and said they were quite good. Can't beat the Master though.
Enjoy your trip Mike. You going alone or is Cat going too?
When I lived in Surrey in early 70s, I must have seen Focus half a dozen times over a period of 2-3 years, mostly around Moving Waves and Focus 3 era. Moving Waves is an album I still have on rotation in my car and my van (amongst about 300 others tbh ranging from 1965-2018). MP3 players are great for that.
