For the third time this
year Brendan came to Belgium.
Last Tuesday he played in Frank's "Café
Den Hemel", this time it was Guido's turn in "Café Ratz".
"Brendan
Crocker"
There where about twenty people in this
small café.
Brendan played a "Nine - Eleven" concert with tracks from his "Essential Protest Songs" book.
This book
contains 40 "protest"songs and Brendan asks a person from the audience to
pick a number between 1 and 40.
Brendan connects the
tracks to each other with his jokes and anecdotes
(people who where there
will remember the Randy Newman story ;-) )
