Template:Infobox Salle de spectacleThe Spirit of 66 is a music venue located in Verviers (Wallonia, Belgium). Over the years, it has specialised mainly in organising rock and blues concerts, but also offers other styles of music, such as progressive rock, hard rock, heavy metal, jazz, country music, salsa music, reggae and more. It organises between 15 and 20 concerts a month, making it one of the busiest music venues in Belgium. .

History

In 1995, Francis Geron (former bassist and friend of Pierre Rapsat) and his son Ronald took over the former ‘Select’ cinema in Verviers, which had been abandoned for several years, and decided to transform it into a music venue . Fascinated by the famous Route 66, they set out to recreate the atmosphere of the typical bars of the American West, with a predominance of wood and subdued lighting, as well as a rich décor of retro photographs and advertisements.

In the first few months of its existence, the venue tried to find its way, but very soon it began to focus on organising concerts, initially presenting small local groups from the Liège region. The venue gradually became more and more popular, but it was the appearances of Pat Travers, Alvin Lee, and above all Paul Rodgers that propelled it to the top, and on 26 June 2006, the Spirit of 66 was awarded the title of Best European Club for the promotion of Live American Music by the Paris Country Festival .

Today, over 2,000 groups and singers make up the Spirit of 66 Hall of Fame.

Hall of Fame

Among the many groups and singers who performed at the Spirit of 66 were:

External partnerships

Occasionally, the Spirit of 66 staff will lend their expertise to organising events outside the venue:

Fiesta City is an annual music festival held in Verviers over 3 days on the last weekend in August,
The Verviers Guitar Festival,
Major events organised by Belgian radio station Classic 21.
