Afgelopen maandag overleed mijn goede vriend regisseur Dick Hauser. Ik leerde hem kennen via verschillende voorstellingen van de Amsterdam Klezmer Band waar hij de regie van deed. Dit portret werd gemaakt door Thomas Huisman tijdens de montage van ons jubileumconcert in Carré in 2021.

Beste collega’s, vraag voor een leerling van me: is er in Amsterdam een coole marching band waarbij hij zich kan aansluiten?

Saw so many amazing bands at South of Heaven Festival, together with Oscar Levelt 💪😎. Decapitated was awesome, Sylosis as well, but hell, Meshuggah they’re the absolute kings. Their music is insane and their lightshow sick. Really incredible. Do go and see them if you can.
