Making good on a promise: the review of Ge vindt wel een Taal

18 May

Last Easter, the Dutch Stichting Draailier en Doedelzak celebrated their 40th anniversary with a special workshop weekend. During that weekend Lies Sommer (Datura, Kelten zonder Grenzen, Ball Noir (FB), Idun’s Apples (FB)) and Wouter Kuyper (Wouter en de Draak, Gheselscap Goet ende Fyn, Laroux, Androneda, BmB) presented: How to fly your drone. A book containing over 70 pages of sheet music for hurdy gurdy and bagpipes. It contains a lot of old classics and six new compositions that Lies Sommer and Wouter Kuyper wrote especially for this occasion and can be acquired through the Stichting Draailier en Doedelzak.

Inspired by this special project I started to listen to some of Wouter’s earlier work. The two beautiful CD’s of Wouter en de Draak I have and the wonderful Belgium-Dutch balfolk project called BmB. It was at that moment that I realised I never wrote a review about the beautiful BmB album although I promised I would. So it’s high time we make good on this promise I made four years ago:

A full review of Ge vindt wel een taal

An album that has lost none of its magic ever since its release!
