No, unfortunenately I'm not. I wish though!

I heard many good things about the fair? I did some research the other day, but I didn't find out, when it is happening this year?

Can you enlighten me?

Hey Dirk what's up?

I went in the Namur flea market two weeks ago.
It wasn't really great for the records. Lot of wax but usually very bad orchestra compilations.
I went in Anpwert and Brussels too.. I grabbed huge records some years ago for few euros (France Gall Zozoi, Nilovic Funky Tramway, Yamasaki LP..), but now all fellow diggers who went there told me this cities are dried!
Any advice for good places for records in Belgium, any advice for good flea markets?

Peace and by the way: parles tu francais?

Greetings, yes I speak French as well as Flemish which is mother language.

I don't know about the Namur Flea Market.
I visit this place in Antwerp regularly called 'Record Collector', it's like a labyrinth of records, you'll get lost... They have it all. I don't much about flea markets though. In Brussels, there's this region between the 'Bourse" and the "South" where there lots of record shops, I visit them, but I seldom find rare stuff.
But then again, I'm very selective in what I pick up, so I might leave lots of rare gems for others...

A bientot!

Welcome Dirk!
Hope you enjoy your stay...

Welcome Dirk
I am a huge fan of your country???s beer. I spent a three hour lay over in the airport in Brussels and I have been hooked on Belgian beer ever since.

This is in fact where I find all the rare I talked about.. Record Collector is incredible...but probably too well known now..
As for Brussels, Jukebox is a good place for time to time. The guy is a little bit lunatic but use to have some niceness..

Portes toi bien.
