Ruud

About Me

Ruud was born on a miserable November 5th,1964 in a town with no cheer somewhere in the middle of nowhere.After hearing Queen's Killer Queen he started making music and got tangled up in the guitar of his sister.He played in several schoolbands before he started working for Flairck (a Dutch acoustic classicfolkjazzpoprock-group (check out www.flairck.com))as light-engineer and travelled the world for a couple of years.After his two sons(Jip,17,keyboardplayer aka Jarp 2600 and Pim,15,drummerboy of Moksja)were born he decided to stay at home,quit working and picked up his guitarplaying again and played with people like MT-Yidaki,Tynke Luske and Michiel Bos in bands like Djedur,Wooden Shoes and Marot's Tale.Nowadays he works at the local theatre as light/sound-engineer and post-delivery-man on Saturdays and plays guitar,piano and keyboards mainly just for fun.
