It’s a really beautiful city and the Muziekgieterij venue is already surprising Jase W with how much of a gorgeous venue it is! Our European correspondent was with two good buds of his for the weekend too, so this was going to be a bloody lovely trip down to the very southern tip of the Netherlands…
