Congratulations to the alumni band "The Bowtie Collective" for releasing their first single (Youtube).
The student band was formed in the Oliebaan residence living room in early September 2013 by 7 students of the Voltaire Promotion; Alexis PANTELIDES, Omri PREISS, Christian GROBECKER, Denis MICI, Willy KOKOLO, Wojtek SACHA and Antonio ROLO. After a year in Bruges, the band moved to Brussels. Five of the original band members remain, and are joined by two 'College of Europe in spirit'-members, Andrea BOCCUNI and Alberto DE JUAN.
The band members all have a professional career in the European Commission, European Parliament and EU competition law firms, but outside their working hours they greatly enjoy getting together to perform their favorite music.
Fun fact: formerly simply known as the "College Band", "The Bowtie Collective" chose its new name as a homage to their favourite bar in Bruges "’t Verdriet van België" and its owner, the bowtie-wearing Jari.
