Amsterdam with a swinging touch!

The duo, consisting of 2 born musicians Eddy Hoorenman and Huub Eikenboom, guarantees 100% fun.

Huub Eikenboom : In the 1970s Limburger Huub decided to go to Amsterdam and there he worked in Restaurant “Dubois” for the first few years. There Huub also met Johnny Jordaan, Aunt Leen, Willy Alberti and Imca Marina. Unfortunately, the business burned down in early 1982 and Huub was asked to come and play in “The Shorts of London” on Rembrandtplein. Huub played there together with Eddy Hoorenman for 15 years and, together with Manke Nelis, formed the trio that gained national fame with the hits: Kleine Jodeljongen, Let the whole lot blow, eva

Eddy Hoorenman : At the age of six, grandpa gave him an accordion as a gift and he taught him the first chords himself. Through an Amsterdam music school accordion club and private lessons Eddy was already young in the profession. During a performance in a café he met his great idol, accordionist Johnny Meijer. A friendly relationship developed between the two men. Johnny played in the San Remobar in Amsterdam in the evening. One evening he had to miss out to receive a gold record with the “Dutch Swing College Band”. He asked Eddy to replace him this evening and Eddy played the accordion all evening in Johnny Meijer's bar. It was 1974 and that was the first time that Eddy played together with bassist/singer Manke Nelis.
