A big thank you to all the kids who sent in entries for our Mega Mindy colouring contest. Our panel of judges (film and art critics) chose Silke Goethuys of Rotselaar as the winner in the 0-3 years category, who liked her touches of red in the typical pink-and-yellow approach of most of our entries.

Although Walter De Buck is known across Flanders for being both a musician and a sculptor, to the people of Ghent, he is much more. Because it was De Buck who, in 1969, put together a music festival outside the Trefpunt cafe in Ghent. Forty years later, we still call it the Gentse Feesten, and it is now Europe's largest music and street theatre festival. Last year 1.5 million people came through. And De Buck is going down in history as a folk hero.

Going to the Cactus Festival in 2003, I wondered, like thousands of other music fans travelling to Bruges' Minnewaterpark, if I was going to hear the music. The festival had just been ordered to pay a fine of €3,750 to the owners of two neighbouring hotels who complained about the inconveniences caused by the event: people using their lawn as a public toilet, for instance, and noise pollution.

This weekend, Jasper Erkens will become the youngest-ever performer at Rock Werchter
