History
On November 1, 1999, Woestijnvis made national Belgian TV history. For the first time, the VRT programmed a daily late night talk show on the first network. Patrick Riguelle & Jan Hautekiet provided the music, so the core team was already operational to shape the music for the new talk show. The list of artists who passed by is as diverse as it is impressive. Followed by: Toots Thielemans, Tom Robinson, Zap Mama, Randy Newman, Tom Jones, Coolio, Ike Turner, PJ Harvey, Buffalo Tom, André Hazes, Steve Wynn, Emmylou Harris, Moby, Michelle Shocked, Joan Osborne, Chris Spedding, Jim Kerr, Ray Davies, Suzanne Vega, The Pointer Sisters, Arno, Maceo Parker, Jools Holland, …. The list is endless.
Laatste Show Band
Laatste Showband looks back on a quarter century of musical playing pleasure with a short but intense theatre tour with 3 international guests. A special guest was always Ian McCulloch of Echo & the Bunnymen, who gave his first and indelible act de presence on 7 April 2003. A deep and sincere friendship grew with the band, and he came to the show several times.
The Finale
On December 10th there will be “The Finale” in the Antwerp Schouwburg with extra guests: Alex Agnew, Tom Barman (ov), Milow (ov), Maaike Cafmeyer and Bruno Wyndaele.
