On account of me and The Missus taking my mother-in-law along, this year we journeyed West, to The Hague, to see Daniël Lohues perform a show in support of his latest album Vlier.
Compared to shows I saw in the more eastern parts of The Netherlands, two things are worth mentioning: first, most of the talking was done in Dutch instead of Low Saxon. I guess that is to make it easier for the audience outside of the Low Saxon-speaking area, which brings me to the second point: shame on you, greater-The Hague area. Lohues deserves a larger audience than a half-filled Koninklijke Schouwburg.
In a few weeks time, he’ll be playing with an electric band again. Should be fun.
