Denmark should be proud

- There’s a lot of quality every year, Meijerink says enthusiastically, having attended four times now.

- I’m surprised, because Denmark is a small country, but the music scene is very alive. Denmark should be proud of it. There’s so many things happening.

Perfect mix
- I like this festival in general. It is a perfect mix. You can take a dive into the Danish music scene in a couple of days. It’s perfect, says Meijerink.

Earlier today he attended the speedmeeting, where people from the music industry got a chance to network.

- It’s a really smart way to do business.

A model for SPOT

Meijerink reveals that Gunnar Madsen, the leader of the SPOT Festival, modelled SPOT after Eurosonic 20 years ago.

- It’s good that there is a festival to showcase upcoming artists in this country. It works like a mirror. You can always learn from each other.

Thoughts for the future
When asking Meijerink if anything is missing at the SPOT Festival, he says he cannot think of anything. And yet:

- You have to give the audience something fresh, so the festival needs to keep on changing, he says.
