“Green hocker croakin' ” (In the Pygmy Twylyte)
So what does one do after having witnessed a fantastic concert (by Ensemble Fuse)?
Well, at Zappanale, you just walk to the other stage to see another fine concert. Or two.
Friday evening, at 20h30, the Jeff Hollie quartet took the (mystery) stage.
Jeff (who played sax on FZ’s “Joe’s Garage” album) is a great musician. He works and lives in The Netherlands, and has participated in several Zappa-related musical projects the last couple of years. Dutch bands Cucurullo Brillo Brullo, and Zappatiki come to mind, and last year Jeff performed at the Mosae Zappa festival in The Netherlands.
For the Zappanale gig, Jeff had assembled Fred Händl (keyboard), Kevin Crosby (bass), and Armin Beck (drums), plus mystery guest Natacha (vocals).

We went for a meal first, so we missed the visual aspect of the first part, but we were able to catch them mid-show. A fun concert. Not perfect (and the balance of the sound was terrible) but it was fun.
Scottish band Pygmy Twylyte had the honour to do the final Friday concert on the main stage.
Pygmy Twylyte chief / guitar player Chris added that the band had been working towards this concert for a couple of years, and it showed.
The band delivered a solid rock show with lots of improvisations.
Nice.
The audience (and there were many) loved it .
