Catch a vibe at Reggae Geel on Friday, August 2 and Saturday, August 3 2013! Reggae Geel, one of Europe’s oldest reggae festivals, was founded in 1978. Throughout the years Reggae Geel became a trendsetting and authentic festival. Every year they bring the best of what Jamaica has go to offer to the ‘Belse Bossen’ in the city of Geel. What once started as a party in open-air is now a leading festival with over 30,000 visitors each year.
Introducing Nele Van den Berg. Nele is the Mom of Ushi, Mr. Bowie’s grandmother. Nele performs backing vocals for Iron Ites. Iron Ites are a roots rock reggae band who want to spread a positive message in this time of tribulation. Iron Ites was founded in 2010. Most of the musicians used to play in several projects such as The Mighty Pirates, Zionyouth, Bottle of Moonshine, Soul Jamaica, Wahwahsda. After one year a fix new formation came up, known as Iron Ites. The band will be performing at Reggae Geel tomorrow. Practically in my backyard.

Mr. Bowie will be working for stewarding and security on the festival site. He’s there to make sure that the event runs smoothly and safely for everybody.
Hands on Bowie & Jimi 
What a special treat, and so much fun! Mr. Bowie will keep everyone safe.
I would not cross Mr. Bowie!
Tigger likes a cat in uniform. 😉
Well, I prefer girls in a uniform… 😉
That sounds wonderful….and with Mr. Bowie on the alert keeping everyone safe, it should be a mega-reggae-fest!
Pam
Bowie, I’m sure you will keep everything safe! Woooowoooooo, Ku

Super mooie woorden! Aan Joke en Wiske, ben blij dat ik jullie ken, ook al zijn de contacten vooral via FB en Bowie blog, dat is telkens genieten, maar heb jullie toch al life ontmoet en dat was heel fijn!
Wij zijn ook blij jullie te kennen!
Good vibes! We waren meteen in the mood, 2nd day festival (main stage) =)
And he looks so cute in his security jacket. Have a ball!
Maar allé, Herman gij zijt er nogal 1ne zenne en merci Bowie als jij een oogje in het zeil houd kan ik heel gerust zijn! en wat ben ik trots op mijn kindjes!
Graag gedaan Wiske, en wees gerust, met Bowie erbij is alles onder controle…
En ja, dat zijn 2 fantastische dochters die jij hebt!
They are so lucky to have Mr. Bowie on team keeping everything under control and safe. Wishing a happy weekend to you both, enjoy the festival!
I’m jealous, Mr Bowie! Security! HMC
Security is very important Mr Bowie, but I am disappointed that you are not going to be up on stage as a performer. I think you would be good on the drums 🙂
A musical treat! My boy plays sax and we both enjoyed this. Good to see Mr Bowie on the job!
Mr. Bowie, you look very handsome- and official- in your vest!
Would love to go to this festival I love reggae and I’d get to meet Mr Bowie too.
LOL, hope they pay you with lots of chin scratching on snuggles. Heads up for that wacky tobaccy at the festival, people will look really mellow or sleepy with funny smiles on their faces.
oh Mr Bowie! You are lookin’ smart in your harness….purrrrs Savannah
Well, I’d feel absolutely safe with Mr. Bowie being in charge of security!
