Et une interview (en anglais):


ROLAND
Pioneer of Belgian Rock and Blues-music.

Starts off in the sixties (1963) with skiffle (The William and Roland Skiffle Group) and folk (plays for some years together with Miek & Roel), but evolves to blues later on. His breakthrough follows at Jazz-Bilzen in 1969.

Roland (or in full : Roland Van Campenhout) is mainly a live performer, but he always manages to stay in touch with modern times on his records. The styles he touches : folk & blues, country, rock'n roll, rhythm & blues, world music.

In the seventies he is a member of the backing band of Irish guitarist Rory Gallagher an tours about every barroom from Belgium to Singapore with his band The Bluesworkshop, but also with artists as Ian Anderson, Leo Kottke and Tim Hardin. Or, as his credo goes "To make a café swing with an amplifier and a microphone, and to return home with a few thousand franks. That's what Belgian pop is about and the rest is bullshit".

Commercial success is not really the thing he's after, but it occasionally comes around, as with the "poppy" album "79 cm per second" of 1985 and the cooperation with Arno Hintjens in "Charles et les Lulus".

This last project turns out to be a very important one for Roland ánd for Arno. Or as Arno said later in an interview with Humo "One of the important aspects of Charles et les Lulus was that I've gotten to know Roland really good. Such a terrific man, and a terrific artist, who had been screwed by the music industry for 25 years long. I feel that through the project he has gotten back a dignity worthy of his status. Many young people have found out about Roland for the first time through Charles et les Lulus. Even if that were the only thing this project would have done, it would have been worthwhile for me".
