What began as an initiative by the community and friends of Velvet Music Leiden, a record store, has now grown into a project coordinated by a collective of local programmers and organizers. This evolution explains the festival’s distinctive and diverse range of genres.
At Peel Slowly and See, curious music lovers are invited to explore new horizons — from the latest buzzing UK jazz acts to crackling indietronica, intriguing world music, and unconventional guitar bands. No one leaves the festival without discovering something beyond their usual musical comfort zone — not even the performing artists. That’s a promise.
