About Me

Hano's confusing past * THE PANAMAS * made a ska single in 1979: "To The Yeah Yoh", produced by "Jean-Marie Aerts" - from TC-Matic. It was played mostly on Belgian radio stations. Radio interview by Peter De Groot. Our single was heard on a BBC radio, by the now deceased "John Peel". Hi-lites: Opening for Golden Earing, & Jo Lemaire * BOOTS * was a 9-piece funk band. We got in the half finals of Humo's Rock Rally, and won the 'LOF Festival" in 1984. We toured the "FUN FUNK TOUR" with 2 other bands in 1985. * THE VENUE * Made it into the finals of "HIT '91" - a song writing competition - witch was broadcasted LIVE on TV on Januari 5'th in 1991. We played LIVE at Markt-Rock that year on Het Hogeschoolplein. * MIDLIFE CRISIS * (1995 - 2002) , were seen on biker meetings, and brown pubs around Keerbergen & Leuven. Hi-lites: Recording of a full CD in 2 days, (13 songs) with Arthur Dekegel's assistance. * THE LEUVINSKI AFFAIR * Does social-rock-work in pubs all around Leuven, and were seen on "open air" events since 1997. We found a motivated new guitar player in Nico Boom, and we're back plaing LIVE gigs. The calendar provides EXTRA info. Hano plays the bass and sings. Frank Stoffelen hits all standards, and Andre Delbeke sings it all, and plays on acoustic amplified guitar. The four of us are rightfully called "A Very Tight Band" now. * ROCKWEILER * is a sixties rock-cover band. Occasionally I sing with them. On the Web: ROCKWEILER.BE The best kept secret from the sixties * HANO * records his tunes with a Roland VS 880EX recorder, resulting in a home made CD: "HANO's TRASCHCAN". I record it in a cellar. I'm writing songs for the 2'nd one: "Singing it Softly". It has been delayed, while I'm doing big re-construction works at my house. THE LEUVINSKI AFFAIR * is back in "SOCIAL-ROCK",
They can be found on stages near Leuven. The band is reunited with Nico on solo guitar. Andre still plays vocal chords & acoustic guitar, while I sing backings, and play "the Bass". Frank Stoffelen hits on all standards like a reborn kid. Dare to check us out, whenever you can. Musical hi-lites can happen ONLINE, and at the VS PLANET.COM , More recently, also over here ....

Writing songs

 This past week-end I tried to concentrate again - in trying to write a new song. I had a few ideas. When I was a younger lad, the songs just seemed to pop out of me.   Now, that I'm ol...
