De Roode LantaernThe old-fashioned minstrel is back. He scours the streets and brings music and fun for young and old. A nostalgic appearance with a surprisingly modern sound! His wonder accordion sounds full and big like a one-man orchestra. Complete with bass and drums. And in the big drum there is a powerful speaker through which everything can be heard from afar. Yet he plays and sings life so that the repertoire can constantly adapt. From old folk songs to modern sing-alongs. This enhances the interaction with the audience. "De Roode Lantaern" (The Red Lantern) combines the best of both worlds: the craftsmanship of an old-fashioned troubadour with the modern technology of today. In short, a fully mobile music act with a large reach! |
Het VermaakMista BeatzThis tough appearance is cruising through the streets in its pimped Mercedes. He makes many hearts beat faster.

Luc VaesenThe PedlarMusical, theatrical walk act with built-in mobile sound system. Already in 1225 they travelled throughout Europe, Peddlers, Street Vendors.

This bon vivant plays with the circumstances and with his audience. Always with appropriate interaction. With the built-in sound system, he can walk an entire route whilst playing and singing.

Cock-TalesA magnificently feathered and musical poultry plays animal/human scenes between and with the audience. Puffed up, vain quarrelsome cocks, nagging mother hens, rickety stewing chickens and a daffy sweet fledging: This comical feathered gathering holds up a mirror to the audience in a good-natured, humorous way. | |
Baby ElephantThere does not seem to be much more left than an old circus director and a young elephant. One is old and experienced, the other is young and curious. They love each other enormously and like to argue with each other. When the vegetables appear in the elephant's luggage, this guarantees fireworks. Together they form an eccentric trio: The vegetables, the elephant and the old man... |

Blaas of GloryBlaas of Glory is a hilarious mobile act like you've never seen before. These eight rockers-in-tights have not encountered musical or theatrical equals on their ten year long march along Europe's finest festivals of every size and sort, be it street theatre, pop, rock or metal. Hardrock evergreens bloom once again when this colourful Napoleontic brass band comes marching in, dressed in sexy spandex straight from the eighties. Armed with sousaphone, piccolo, glockenspiel, banjo, accordion and multi-voiced background harmonies they transform every song into an unexpected experience. They will move you to smiles,tears, shreds or flabbergasts. KISS is klezmerized, Thin Lizzy rubled by rumba, Alice Cooper waltzes around, Queen turns into country and Van Halen into Dixieland, AC/DC never sounded so spiritual... Blaas of Glory guarantees a guerilla surprise. These Glamrock Legends pop out of nowhere to create extravaganze extraordinaire. The public is tempted to awkward proximity - the boundaries are fluid - and invited to close interaction. People find themselves suddenly sing-shouting along, dancing the polka and screaming saxophone solos to sick summits which dwarf the originals. Blaas of Glory is wild. It's natural habitat ranges from city streetlife to festival fields, to stages big and small. They will literally blow the roof off any venue. Brace yourselves. |

The Cycling DJHe is coming and cannot be missed. Everyone turns around when the Cycling DJ cycles by. Colourful, cheerful and with infectiously good music. Old skool feel-good disco! A funky folding bicycle and a couple of cool speakers are his tools. While cycling he uses a MP3-player and is a flashy appearance. But when he stands still, the party can really start! Then he playes old-school vinyl singles on a real turntable. And everyone participates and can request a single from his single-request suitcase. The audience is fully involved in this act: laughing, swinging and with love for the music. And that is contagious! Memories are shared upon seeing the familiair record covers. The Cycling DJ is completely unique and surprising. His music and appearance ensure a good mood. This mobile music act is very suitable for a broad audience and can be used at various locations. |
The PensionadosThe elderly couple Loes and Max look disarmingly nice and cheerful. They move from bench to bench whilst Max plays his accodion. And Loes cherishes her knitwear (if she doesn't have a crush on a passer-by). They give everyone a smile and a good mood, both young and old. Especially when their radio goes crazy. Because it turns out that they can dance surprisingly vitally! ...Hey, whose false teeth are this?... |
The PravdaWith the Pravda, Olga and Salman bring the future to the people. With their specifically designed vehicle, with Anis, their tiny monkey at the weel, they mingle with the public, that - once they recover from their astonishment - gets the chance to drift into a world of dreams and good feelings. This act comes with atmospheric Eastern music... |
Der Lustige HänselDer Bringt Immer Stimmung! Drawn straight from the Alpine meadows and with his musical heart in the right place, that is how you characterize Der Hänsel best. He enthousiastically plays the "Kufsteiner Lied", the "Kuckuckswalzer" or the "Amoß Polka". He sings the "Schneewalzer" and the catchy "Trink, Brüderlein, Trink". |

Dutch Bicycle OrchestraWherever this surprising and very humorous orchestra appears on their 4 meter long tandem, they steal the hearts of the audience. Mouths fall open in astonishment and there is laughter in the air. Catchy, cheerful music emanates from the six figures on the enormous bicycle. Suddenly the colossus stops, the musicians get off amid a lot of fuss and bother and they start on an unparalled tattoo, a hilarious ballet act or an absurd slapstick act with acrobatic feats. They don't hesitate to flummox the spectators and making fun of themselves is one of the ingredients. When the tandem finally leaves amid a whirl of commotion, the audience is in no doubt they have witnessed a unique spectacle. The Dutch Bicycle Orchestra "Fietsorkest" from Eindhoven, the Netherlands (founded in 2002) plays in the following line up: trumpet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, accordion, bass tuba, bass drum, cymbals and bicycle bell. The repertoire includes circus and film muziek (Nino Rota, Laurel & Hardy), Klezmer, ragtime and jazz.

Dutch Bicycle Orchestra Chasse PatateThis hopeless group dangles between the leading group and the peloton in their cyclist outfit from the 1930s. The leading group is far out of reach and the peloton will catch up with them a couple of kilometers before the finish. Still, this pleasantly disturbed group on a tandem for six persons will do everything possible to make virtue of need. They play surprisingly beautiful music while cycling and do comedy acts alongside on, and hopefully not under the bike. Chasse Patate will not win the race, but they will make a highly entertaining attempt. |
FunfareThe Funfare is a mini fanfare with lots of humour, theatre and swinging music. Three theatrical musicians skilfully march through the people. Colourfully dressed and always in a good mood. Swinging samba, soca and disco grooves are regularly interrrupted by silly walks, arcobatic tours, dances, etcetera. |
Grote GrietThe Netherlands is still known for its "tulips" and "wooden shoes". Fortunately, because only Nike sneakers and hamburger restaurants all over the world is a bit montonous. France has the Eifel tower, Italy the leaning tower of Pisa and the Netherlands has the large monumental appearance GROTE GRIET (big Griet). |
Breakaleg BrothersThe Gebroeders Brekebeen (Breakaleg Brothers) are twins from an old seaman family. It is not entirely clear whether they are identical, but they are inseparable. That is why sometimes people whisper that they are Siamese twins. Berend Brekebeen stands firmly with two feet on the ground and is as strong as a horse. He easily carries Bastiaan on his shoulders. Bastiaan is notoriously lazy, so that works out well. But it mus be said that Bastiaan sings beautifully and is a virtuoso on the skipper's keyboard. Together the brothers are welcome guests at all kinds of nautical events, but they feel at home wherever the Dutch (sailor)song is appreciated. |
Harmony The Resting MothersThe smallest (alternative) brassband in the world. This brassband never plays off key and always on beat But... with the sound of a big band. |
Hieronymus van CapelleWith a large drum and cymbals on his back and his golden accordion in front of his belly, Hieronymus revives the memory of "Nikkelen Nelis". But Hieronymus would not be Hieronymus if he had not tried to hang some extra instruments on it... The Orchestra PitOn a beautiful day, HIERONYMUS VAN CAPELLE fired his entire orchestra. He had put all the instruments on a strange kind of cargo bike and since then he claims he can do it all by himself. And, between you and me, he can pull it off! |
Hillbilly TwinsHomer and Horace Hillbilly are twins from the deep, deep south of the USA. It is not entirely clear whether they are identical, but they are inseparable. That is why sometimes people whisper that they are Siamese twins. Homer stands firmly with two feet on the ground and is as strong as a horse. He easily carries Horace on his shoulders and sometimes even beatboxes. Horace plays the ukelele and sings the starts from the sky. Whoever sees these men knows at a single glance: simple is difficult enough and one up-tempo song says more than a thousand ballads! Musical mobile street theatre act with built-in sound system. |

This act is a picture to behold and a nightingale to listen to. |
Los del SolIn terms of music, Los del Sol can rightly bear the name "two-man orchestra". A journalist desribes the duo as follows: "The multi-instrumental and vocal duo amazes everyone with their combination of pan flutes, Mexican Mariachi, Caribbean rhythms and Latin Top 40. When you close your eyes, it sounds like an orchestra, when you open your eyes, you see that all those rhythms and sounds are only produced by two people: LOS DEL SOL". Los del Sol plays all types of music genres from South America, Mexico, the Carribean and Spain. |
McDixie BrothersTwo of a kind..... Two musicians play and sing the nicest Dixieland and other popular songs from for example André Hazes, Eddy Christiani, Nico Haak, Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong.

Completely adapted to your wish or event, calm and modest or just smooth and exuberant. You can't think of anything as crazy as this duo! |
McDixie LightNew style Dixieland is the credo of this orchestra that consists of four permanent, professional musicians who are well attuned to each other.

Musical Sailor BoatCas(anova) and Co(sy) are pretty much the best navigators on lee shore. With their boat 'de Casco' they sail from port to port, from pub to pub and from sweetheart to sweetheart. They have to row with the straps they have but no water is too deep and the glass is always half full. These musical sailors sing wherever the girls are and have at least thirty other tough sailor songs in the smaller cafes on the harbor. In addition, they have an inexhausitible repertoire of romantic melodies and adornments from all over the world. |
Musical 'Sea' MenTwo musical sea dogs allow you to enjoy musical excesses that they learned on the open sea. None of the seven oceans goes too high. Oscillate with them on the stormy seas! Only sailor songs? No... just as easily they play Latin, Retro-pop, Jazz and even Classical music. The musical craftsmanship is peppered with a healty dose of humour. On the lower shore or on the ship, these cheerful sailors are happy to anchor for your company! With a mobile piano/organ, saxophone, clarinet, percussion and vocals they are not tied to a stage but they can just as easily move among the audience. |
RodafonioThree musicians sit in a huge wheel and play the original music of Pilu Spagnolo. The music causes the wheel to move and the wheel ensures that the music is created. |
Say CheeseIf you say Holland, you say: clogs, mills and tulips. And of course cheese! Cheese makes everyone smile, no matter if you're young, old or mature. And everyone loves cheese just as much as good music. Modern, old-fashioned or in between. From the clog dance to the Dutch pop of Doe Maar. And from the hits of old to the current hits. The Dutch repertoire is undestroyable! |
Swing-SirsNostalgic Musical Entertainment No bangers but just old-fashioned fun. The Swing-Sirs bring tasteful, recognizable, nostalgic music in a swinging jacket.

Rogier De Nijs GroupPlastic Soup on StageThe backdrop of this performance features a garbage dump in an apocalyptic world, a fantasy universe littered with plastic trash collected from every possible place. In this surreal world, percussionists play a unique array of homemade instruments, specifically created for the performance from actual plastic waste. With Plastic Soup on Stage, drummer Rogier De Nijs opposes the throw-away society and plastic waste in particular. He is amazed at the ease with which single-use plastic is manufactured, sold and then ends up in a landfill or in the ocean. His goal is to prove that something that seems to have lost its function can be of value again. He builds percussion instruments from plastic waste and uses them to compose contemporary music. |
Tabasco Fun OrchestraNice and spicy for young and old. The Tabasco Fun Orchestra is a cheerful and flashy duo that makes unparalleled contagious music!

And to think that they 'only' play on an accordion and some pots and pans! Is this duo not spicy enough? They can also be booked as a trio with extra bass... |

Velo DrumEddy and Roger, two old cyclists, are completely absorbed in their new passion. They have converted their bikes into mobile drum kits to bring a smashing crowd animation to street events. At fairgrounds, professional races, criteria and cyclocrosses, supporters and visitors are always confronted with long waiting periods before the cyclists pass by.
