Vrede in de stad

They met in 1966, having released a solo LP each, and started performing as a duo in 1967 and 1968. They were part of a sixties scene of Dutch singer-songwriters singing in their mothertongue. Boudewijn de Groot, Dimitri van Toren, Joost Nuissl and Ramses Shaffy were some of their musical acquaintances in this era.
