Nederbeat 7 – Dutch Dabhands

  

The Netherlands used to be a very liberal country, and as German boys who on home turf got called names for wearing the hair long and eccentric clothes, the Netherlands was like paradise for us. No hassle, no insults, just a lot of like-minded youngsters.

“Broodje met tartar”, was my favourite food whenever I was there. And musically the Netherlands were like paradise, too, then! Comparing the population figures and the number of outstanding bands, there was no equal in the 60s. The bands wore their hair long and dressed in style, and they had their music speaking for them. So many outstanding tunes, and most of them band compositions and in regards to (the English) lyrics mostly up to their UK or US competitors.  And unique cover versions – just listen to The Riats’ “St. James Infirmary”.

Here's another slab of Nederbeat. Give it a place in your heart.

I’ve got some more Nederbeat doubles in store for you. Just wait!
