Live video – Hills
Another day, another video to share! I’m staying with the writer and film maker Mathhijs van der Ven at the moment, in his attic flat with his steep stairs and his wonderful lady Rachel. He said we could go for coffee if we first recorded a song… so we trapsed out in the frozen and … Read more

During 2008, whilst on tour with Otto Wichers (Lucky Fonz III), I visited Dan Tuffy in Wageningen with Ro Halfhide to try … Read more
In a Cabin With ‘Traditionals’
In the summer of 2009, I was invited to take part in a joint project with In a Cabin With and Onder Invloed to record a couple of traditional songs for an album featuring numerous artists from the Netherlands.
