about Bepop

Quitting your study just before you graduate and dedicate your life to music: that is rock & roll! And it is the origin of Bepop Agency. Because if you cannot play and impute yourself a role out of the spotlight (but do have a heart for rock & roll), booking becomes obvious.

Starting in a small room with a telephone, a borrowed typewriter, 10 stamps and an empty address book, in the last 2 decades Bepop has grown into a professional booking agency, with an extensive network. Bepop deliberately wants to stay a small and independent agency, where it plays an important role to ‘discover and introduce’ bands. In the course of years Bepop has worked with various festivals, bands and venues of which you will find a selection on this website. It seems like an immodest summary – in the Netherlands we are quick to talk about the smell of assumed own fame – but why be ashamed of the facts? Furthermore: this list is far from complete. A lot of (small) festivals at home and abroad are not mentioned, just like almost the entire Dutch venue scene, and many café’s and theatres.

Bands:
Johnny Winter, Joe Bonamassa, Dr. Feelgood, The Blues Band, Amor, Taj Mahal, The Levellers, The Hoax, The Inmates, Jan James, Long John Baldry, Barrelhouse, Chris Daniels and the Kings, Sonny Landreth, Fabulous Thunderbirds,
