In the media

“In the cellar of a catering establishment on the Eewal, you can find yourself with ease stumbling upon the multi-talented Michelle Samba with a short, but Oh, OH, so powerful performance. Drones from the cello, moving drumbeats—and that Frisian! “All is still / all is beating.” Maybe that’s the code to crack this festival, even the whole world.” –De Leeuwarder Courant

“ The festival is praised for their important function for Northern makers in the line of Talent Development and co-financing. Besides that, the jury found it a strong festival in content, with good use of locations around the city and where many special projects and cooperations are initiated.” —from the jury report of Popgala Noord, Best Festival

“And Explore the North deserves the long haul—to allow the countless connections hidden in this festival to come to full bloom.” –Leeuwarder Courant
