Alfons Veldhuis
I am Alfons Veldhuis and play on my accoustic Takamine guitar, my favorite guitarbrand. I write my own lyrics and fit them in with my songs. Most of the time my song is there and afterwards I write the lyrics. Sometimes I play together with studymates from Psychology.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I played in a music school and high school band with al kind of cover songs and some own songs with the music school band: LEV (Leon en de Venderbosjes). Leon Venderbos was the bandleader. Also play together with Philip Kaiser and do a lot of jamming around for example in the USVA in Groningen.
