Hello everyone,

2009 started off with a gig in Tokyo to celebrate the release of Wouter Hamel's new record Nobody's Tune and theatre tour. The first 'try out' in Doetinchem was a huge succes and the whole band is looking forward to next 39 shows.

Meanwhile I managed to find some time to reflect on last year. What a year it has been with 96 Wouter Hamel gigs, 28 Sensuāl gigs, 17 gigs with other bands, 18 workshops, 8 radio shows, 3 tv shows and 6 studio recordings. I also started a new band with guitar player Bobby Ruijgrok called Blistered. Please check us out on http://www.myspace.com/blisteredmusic.

Of course the best news was ofcourse the birth of my daughter Cecilia. She's four months now and is doing great!

I hope 2009 will bring new adventures on my path. Hope to meet you at one of my concerts.

All the best en groeten, Gijs
