chad & ad & toktek
Again you have the opportunity to hear this unusual combination. In the past I played several times with Eugene but this trio is new. Sofar we did one concert in Eindhoven about two month ago. You can still watch it on You Tube. Toktek is a special talent from the music and art scene from Eindhoven. He designs his own instruments to make sounds. This time he brings a contrabass transformed as joy stick. We play on saturday march 31 in the old Tweka factory(its now a storage and shop for second hand furniture) at the Mierloseweg 53a in Geldrop, The Netherlands start 21.00 hour and on monday april 2 in cafe Wilhelmina, Wilhelminaplein in Eindhoven start 21.00 hour
Two Tabla's
The peace office(an anti war organisation) in my home town Eindhoven is organising each year in januari a new year meeting. It is a meeting with discussion, spoken words and music. The subject of the comming meeting is: Peace is to meet each other.
They put together a special trio for this ocasion with the two tabla players Mr. Sanker & Mr. Nandoe and me. I played one time with this two musicians in a jam session and that was a great surprise. I am looking forward to this special meeting.

These two conserts will be quiet different so I advice everybody to visit them both.Also the combination of special talents will make this two evenings interesting.
To hear Doc. Chad is great but.... once in your life you have to see him perform then you get the total message.

On december 21 in 1997 Alan Purves and me did our first duo gig in Nuenen the village in Holland where Vincent van Gogh was kicked out. We enjoyed our excited meeting and we where lucky we did record that evening. On my own Dino label I brought it out under the title "The Pretty original Brainstormers". Now it is sold out and as so far our only sign of live of this illustrious duo. So for all the people that want to hear us again:
