Photos by Christ Clijssen Touchy touchy! Performing at the rival football club... As you know I'm living in Amsterdam, 3-4 times a week I can see the Ajax Arena stadium while running, sometimes when there's a big event I can here the stadium from my home. I saw one or two football competitions in the stadium, in 2007 I saw The Police there live.. But I never have performed there.. YET! Other football clubs have invited me before, De Kuip, Rotterdam, Gelredome Arnhem, Galgewaard Utrecht and now Philips Stadion Eindhoven. The enemies. Sorry Ajax! Actually I had a very nice chat with Willy van de Kerkhof. He is a PSV legend, he played there for 15 years. 15 years with one club. I guess it was like that in the old days. Nowadays the players/coaches are changing clubs all the time.. It's one of the nice side effects in my job to get to meet all kinds of people. Kitty and I got so many compliments and it was so much fun to do. A bit more on football or "soccer" as the Americans call it:
This is a tune called Kalunga Dance, from my latest album Dark Horse, order it here or buy it at a concert, the next one is Brebl, Nijmegen 1 day after my birthday on 16th of April! Hope to see you there!In this performance, we featured percussionist/vocalist and world citizen Helene Jank. She lived and worked in Brazil for quite a while and I really think it's audible here. I love the way she and the band creates this moment of space within the concert and this is also why - I think - visiting concerts is important because then you get to experience the whole context of the concert. How is the program build up, how does the audience respond and what does music makes you feel. More info:Susanne Alt: sax, Matthijs Geerts and Ike van Bergen: keys, Thomas Pol: bass, Yoràn Vroom: drums, Helene Jank: percussion Performed at 16th of January 2026 at Bimhuis, Amsterdam, Recorded by Onno Prillwitz Filmed by Robert Glass and Albert Nooij. - Photos by Christ ClijssenTouchy touchy!
