Café De Doelen/ Centrum Amsterdam

Hi folks,
Once a year I play in this little café in the centre of Amsterdam. It's called Café De Doelen and you can come there easily by train; from Central Station it's just a 15 minutes walk.
I will play there on Sunday January 3rd, and I will start at 8 pm. and play a set of one hour, especially For You!
It's a nice café with a nice atmosphere; not many people, just enough to have a good time together.
I invite you to drink a beer or red wine with me and have a toast on 2016.
See you there?
Love,
Annette

Zaal 100 / Room #100 / Amsterdam LIVE

Hi Folks
Every Friday night you can get some real good food for ONLY 8 euro's in 'Zaal 100' - De Wittenstraat 100/ Amsterdam.
You have to be there at 6 pm and usually there's also some live music.
 I was asked to play there yesterday-night and had a really good time with some friends and audience. After dinner there was first a nice songwriter called Zasja and I started round 8.30 pm.
Mario played with me and we played for almost an hour. I introduced two new songs!
 I am always very excited about singing new songs and a good friend of mine made a recording of this performance. The new songs start at 3 :20, and they are called "Those Words" and "Beggars".
The first song is a love song, my really first one :) and the second song is about a beggar in Portugal who gave me money when I was singing in the streets, this was a weird experience, but I loved it! 

Thanks to Eduart, the programmeur of this night.

Theatercafé Leiden

I had a really nice gig in Scheltema Café, Theater Leiden. I played together with Jannet Fink on violin, Auke de Haan (cajon, vibes) and Mario Kaspers (bass). The audience was very nice and listened quietly to our set. 

The place is an old factory and has a very good acoustic. We played with just two d.i's and one monitor, but the sound was great! Theater Leiden

We'll be back at Tuesday, December 1st @Science Café Leiden (same building). 

Nice barkeepers at Scheltema

Everybody has left the building, except ...

Maloe Melo, Waterhole Amsterdam and other fine locations to play

Hi there!
It's early in the morning because the clock has turned one hour back, we go back to wintertime again!
Last week I was free from work as a teacher, so I had some extra gigs and had much fun with my bassplayer and soulmate Mario. We played a full sett at Maloe Melo, and there is a nice clip on facebook, a nice guy called Rory filmed us, you can watch it here: Maloe Melo 

Maloe Melo is an old rock temple, when I was still living in Groningen I already had heard of this place and it is so great to play there your music because lots of famous musicians played there. Still, there are always musicians at this place, it's really worth it to come over right here.

I also played in café The Waterhole, a famous music cafe in Amsterdam, everynight live music, lots of good jams up there! And for singersongwriters the possibility to play there once a month. (songwritercircle Amsterdam).

The Waterhole

Last night I played in this little town close to Amsterdam: Uitgeest. The place is called Dorpshuis De Zwaan.  We got there by train early at night, had some crackers, chocolate and red wine as dinner in the street just in front of the cafe and when we came in we were nicely welcomed by the people who work there. We played for about 80 people and the audience was attentively respectful and so quiet that i almost started to whisper ;)  This centre has a very good sound-engineer, the sound was so great! Another songwriter sent me this morning a vid he made, you can watch the vid here: De Zwaan / On a Raft at High Tide
I recommend this place especcially for comedians and songwriters!  

If you like what i am doing and if you like to support,  please let me know bij liking on fb - makes me going on - WOMEN go for it :) Annette on facebook

OBA Live radio 6 IKON

O yeah! This was a really nice night. After my schoolwork I went to the library and i was hungry and thirsty so I ate some cracks at the library and Mario brought some wine ...
The nice sound-engineer arrived around 6.30 pm and was NOT stressed at all when the bass didn't have any sound, just 5 minutes before broadcasting ( we were neither :) .
I was very very happy some friends showed up to enjoy us ( Hans, Gerrit, Auke, Flora),There was this interview with an actor and we had to play two songs. I must admit, we could do better, we missed Jannet, our violin player, but we did our best to play the songs Formless Creature and On the Corner, with just the two of us. Still, I think we did a good job, I didn't have monitor during the second song, so I had to sing a little bit louder, but I did not really care, the audience was nice and the people who work for this radio-station were very positive about our performance :)
After de gig we were invited to drink at the café just around the corner and so this was again a very nice experience !
