Hurdy Gurdy player in Archeon, historic theme park

@smileyowner het is waar...

For me, too, it has been Tjerk who introduced me to the hurdy gurdy. I may have only seen him once as a kid, but I'll never forget him playing 'Pipi Langkous' for my little brother. I still am waiting for a chance to get a hurdy gurdy myself, thanks to Tjerk.

R.I.P. Tjerk...

That is very very sad information :( This guy was special for me because when I heard the hurdy gurdy for the first time in my life it was actually Tjerk's playing... Nothing is forgotten... R.I.P. Tjerk

@ajsgouda Meen je dit?

Anybody knows title of the song?

[tierelierer]

@FlyingSnake110 Petit riens

[Nawyria]

@FlyingSnake110 I believe it's a variation on the musical accompanyment "Petit Riens", which is an Italian dance from the 15th century. There's several videos (including the Hurdy Gurdy double header video) in youtube of other people playing or dancing it.

@mrpala Yes, he's called Tjerk Schipper. If you want to contact him, let me know. I can't just put his  e-mail on internet due to privacy.

[mrapala]

It was in 2002 or 2003, I guess.

This guy used to play in a band called Halewyn, as far as I remeber. His music brought me to Hurdy Gurdy actually. Anyone knows him or the band called Halewyn?

[masterofmetallica09]

Hurdy Gurdy's zijn echt vet. Doet me altijd denken aan historische (folk) muziek...

[draailierman]

Hee, dat is Tjerk! Die ken ik wel als collega-draailirist! Mocht je hem willen laten optreden moet je me maar mailen ofzo ;)

[mrapala]

@draailierman you know this player?

[VreeFisions]

Enorme sfeermaker. Hij maakt het wel daar, de hele ervaring.

[drolappel]

sinds ik hem jaren geleden in het archeon heb zien spelen ben ik helemaal weg van de draailier. hij speelde toen pippi langkous voor mijn broertje. lol
