Spektakel de Hofwei 23-07-2010 in Oostvoorne
Friday, 23rd July 2010 and
it’s Bogus time again. The boys came to the Oostvoorne Festival of
Hofwei.
At half past two I arrived
at the hotel while the band was already there and had a little nap in
their rooms. At half past five some of the boys came outside to enjoy a
bit of the lovely weather and the sun. At five we were complete. Off to
the festival! And we did not need to go very far as the festival ground
was just opposite the hotel.
Unpack the instruments and
do the soundcheck. At half past six we had a nice dinner together.
Afterwards we went back into our hotelrooms to get a little rest. At
midnight the boys had to be on stage.
Earlier in the evening a
local band called Deep Impact, a Soulsinger called Wendell and the
Popstar winner Wesley played on the stage. But then the boys came… and
the audience was dancing on the ceiling. It was a big party.
After
the show Patrick (Maka) and I sold a few CD’s and
then we enjoyed the afterparty.
Yolanda and Gerard, it was great to see you and
thank you so much for the many great photos. Gudrun
and friend, it was great to see you as well. Hope to
see you again soon.
Unfortunately we had to say bye-bye far to soon as
the boys had to leave early in the morning at a
quarter past seven. In the meantime they have
arrived savely back in England.
Thank
you very much for the organizers, you have done a
great job and we enjoyed our time very much. We hope
that the boys will play again next year.
Thanks
a lot and see you soon.
Best
regards from the Bogus Brothers and Marina

The boys were back! This time they came from Dublin by plane where they
had a gig the day before. So, this Sunday morning Jerry from the booking
office Artilla and I drove to Schiphol to pick them up. We brought them
to the hotel where they could rest a few hours. In the late afternoon
somebody from the festival organization came to pick us up in an old
fire engine. That was great fun!
After
about 5 min. we arrived at the festival ground and the boys did their
sound check and had something to eat. At 6:30 p.m. the gig started.
After about one hour they had a half hour break, when Dieter Koblenz
(entertainer german songs) came on stage for a little performance and
the boys could rest for a while. At 8:00 p.m. they came back on stage.
It was a great gig. Several times Patrick was stage diving and sang
while he was floating above the audience. That was great! At about half
past nine the show was over and we had some nice drinks backstage.
Later on we got hungry and we found a place where we could get some
frankfurters. We were very grateful for the late hospitality and the
yummy sausages. That was a nice ending of the evening.
At
1:30 a.m. we returned to the hotel. The next morning we had to get up
early to bring them back to the airport at 9 a.m.
Boys,
that was great! Jerry and I want to thank you for such an
We hope
to see you again soon.
