Henk and Laetitia

Henk and Laetitia during Nescio. The Amsterdam-Rhine-Canal is barely visible on the screen behind them.

Henk and the Bulbul

Henk presents and explains the Bulbul, an exotic instrument from India. It attracts cows, but fortunately only those on the screen.

Home before Dark

Photographed without a flash this shows a somewhat blurry Henk, but also the video projection and the lighting of the stage.

J.O.S. Days

Henk plays the harmonica while Rob and Arwen are watching a French soccer player during a worldcup match.

Robinson

Robinson with the plastic fish swimming around on the screens.

Wool

The following pictures were taken during the 2000 Eindhoven concert, the first Nits gig in the Netherlands. The video projectors are still in use, but not as extensively as during Alankomaat.

Poster

Promotional poster in front of the Effenaar.

Henk with hooter

Some more pics, this time from the Nijmegen concert. The club was smaller and Rob could be seen much better now.

Titia, Henk and Rob

Two pictures of the Köln concert. This club was even smaller than Nijmegen.

The final concert of 2000 took place in the Nijmegen theatre. The videoscreens have new positions (and new videos, of course), Leona is permanently on stage and the stage features a grand piano, used by Henk and Titia.

Theatre tour stage

In July 2000, the Nits recorded a TV special in Haarlem. Most guest musicians appearing on Wool were present, including Leona, the ZAPP! String Quartet, The Stylus Horns and Peter Meuris on percussions/vibraphone/marimba. The whole Wool CD was played twice that evening.

Wild Hair

In April 2002 there was a special meeting in the Paradiso in Amsterdam with pop musicians born between 1945 and 1955 called the babyboomers. They did a discussion about that time and what has become of them nowadays.

Podium

In the panel were The Lau of the Scene; Hans Waterman, who was in Solution and is now a writer of poparticles; Jerney Kaagman, she as the golden voice of Earth and Fire and nowadays director of Conamus; the well known Henk Hofstede; Jaap van Beusekom, who was a famous musician with Cuby and the Blizzards and nowadays director of the Dutch Popinstituut; Professor Boomkes and the discussionleader Geert.
