We reached 7000€ weeks before the end of the campaign! This is absolutely fantastic, you are amazing! ❤️ I never expected it would go this fast...

Now that we got this far, let's see if we can go to 12.000🤞 More money means that I can pay more musicians, spend a couple more days in the studio, and ultimately make an even better album.

I can't tell you how good it feels to have this much support. It doesn't matter how much you can donate, it's the fact that you DO that's important. Everybody gives what they can, that's how it works 🙏

At the time of writing this, we are at 220 backers. I would like to get to 300. That way, I know this album will reach the audience it deserves. That way, I can go every radio station in this country and say: "Look fellows, 300 people supported this album, are you gonna refuse ALL of them?" Heaven knows, maybe they'll even play my songs then... A girl can dream, right? ☺️

Thank you, and thank you again!

Nele Needs A Holiday: The Musical is a pop opera about a Belgian woman moving to London to make it in music, but only finding austerity, heartbreak, and Brexit. Contrarily to what you might think, it's actually rather cheerful.

The Musical rocked the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and was praised in The Guardian for its "strong musical arrangements, good humour and quirky charm". Now the songs from this show will finally be recorded!

If you want to support this project, you can do so in the following ways:

For 200 euro, I can write a song - in English or in Dutch - about whatever you want, for example:

🎵 your birthday 🎉

🎵 the birth of your baby 👶🏻 🎉

🎵 publicity for your business 💸

🎵 confessing your undying love to your secret crush ❤️

🎵 breaking up your relationship 💔

🎵 hating on your ex 🧟‍♂

🎵 congratulating yourself for surviving this crazy life 🤜

🎵 ...

For 500 euro, I will come play for you at your garden party or in your living room, for your friends and family, or for whoever you want really. Think about it, a Nele Needs A Holiday concert could make something unforgettable of:

🎵 your birthday - again 🎉

🎵 your wedding - if you dare 🎊

🎵 your funeral - never too early to order 🧟‍♀

🎵 your divorce - quite a few songs in my repertoire excellent for that one 🤦🏻‍♀

🎵 just because - your friends will think you’re so cool 😎👾

🎵 ...

Of course, you can also just pre-order the new album, aka The Musical, aka the best album ever - on CD or vinyl. Buy just that one, or buy my previous albums too - they are not too bad either 😊
