( from artist's site ) - Both in England and in Germany he modeled his skills on great masters and pedagogues. Ancient plucked instruments are a specialty of his: the classical guitar, the theorbo-lute, the Neapolitan mandolin and the recently also the ukulele. His fascination for instrumental virtuosity, dynamism and emotion made for the development of his personal technique. Since 1973, Herman Vandecauter has given solos on plucked instruments and has accompanied poems and songs,not only in his native country but also in England, France, Germany, Malaysia and Spain, amongst others during the International Festival for Plectrum Instruments in Logroño. He has also been a freelance co-operator on the mandolin and the theorbo-lute both of the baroque orchestra Il Fondamento in their musical productions for the Festival of Flanders and of the opera of the Munt-schouwburg in Brussels. Creativeness stems from the discovery of an unhoped for richness of sound, a sound quality in which new frontiers are being explored. This is music, which, because of its dynamism and emotion, should be savored live. www.guitarra.be www.ukulelebelgium.be

Artist Info
(From web site bio) - Victoria Vox made her big debut at 6 years old, singing ÒGirls Just Want to Have FunÓ in her babysitterÕs garage in Algoma, WI. Through twenty-some years of experience, she has also tackled a Casio keyboard, violin, oboe, trumpet, guitar, bass and ukulele.
Enchanted by chord progressions and song structure, Vox continued her higher education at Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music. A degree in songwriting was right up her alley, plus, the male-to-female ratio was 11-1! Meticulous about honing her craft, the pink-haired conservative punk-rocker worked on tweaking her songs, and eventually collaborated other talented Berklee students to record Victoria Vox and the Ultra Pink Bicycle Incident, a full-band album released in 2000. Her hard work and dedication later thanked her in the form of a Berklee Achievement Scholarship and the Vince Gill Songwriting Award. top
