Boekie Night

You probably remember it: Boekie Night. Eindhoven's book talk show that has been a household name in the city and in the book world for many years. An evening full of writers, literature, music and above all: a lot of fun. This year Boekie Night returns to our stage for three nights. You know, as usual. This time, our beloved host Wim Daniëls will be in conversation with Coen Verbraak and Patricia Snel. The evening will be musically framed by Onze Martinus and Mirthe de Jonge.

This programme is Dutch spoken.

ONZE MARTINUS
A man with a beard and his guitar! Personal, candid songs with a laugh and a tear, sung with a clear Brabant tongue. Songs in the folk, Americana tradition about the drinker, the thinker, the dreamer and his dream that have one thing in common: A good story! This evening Martijn will play his songs together with Mirthe de Jonge (cello and second voice).
