NOTP Fanpage

Archive for July, 2010

The last news provided by Jan Vereecke on his blog dates from the 19th of May, so already two and half months old. Since there isn’t too much news to gather these days about the upcoming artists, we asked some follow-up question to Jan Vereecke, organizer, on the 29th of July.

Jan, when do you expect to announce the full line-up?
There is finally some movement, in fact only this morning. Now, it can’t go fast enough. Maybe next week already?

In 2009, Jonas Isacsson of Roxette was part of the Electric Band; he was very enthusiastic about the NOTP form. In Charleroi 2010, Rob Winter played along but he’s too busy during the fall with Marco Borsato. Will Jonas become the fixed guitar player, following Laurie Wisefield?
No, it will be Leendert Haaksma, playing for Anouk and Natalia. He will join the Electric Band during the fall. We’re very honored!



Lichtmond will place the emphasis on a perfect sound and visual effects. Will there be a giant screen again like in 2007?
There will be even five screens who can form one big projector screen.

Will the movie music return to the program?
Definitely. I’m negotiating with the distributor of the Harry Potter movies for the use of images from the movie.

In 2009, extras from Fine Fleur made the show. Will they be active again during this years’ show?
During the fall, Fine Fleur will take of a choir of 24 persons. It’s not our initial intent to use extras again.

According to Dirk Hohmeyer, there will be a new DVD? Is that true?
Yes, we’re working on DVD 4, with mainly highlights from the last three editions.

Is there a new CD planned from the 2010 shows in Antwerp and The Netherlands, or will there be a new Best Of – CD?
That’s too early to tell. CD’s are having a quite hard time nowadays…



That’s all for Jan’s input so far. We’re looking forward to the news of the next weeks!

The head line for the NOTP shows in Germany 2010 is Sir Clif Richard, a living legend who is becoming 70 years old and scored his first hit over 50 years ago. Cliff will only perform in Germany.

Together with the head line for Germany, Lichtmond was announced as well, a nice pop project who releases their first Blue Ray DVD in September.

The presence of John Miles is also confirmed.

Night of the Proms in 2011 in Poland

It’s 99% sure that there will be a first Night of the Proms show in Poland in 2011. There are two very nice opportunities but it’s sure that there will only be one show. If the decision is made, probably in the beginning of August, we’ll publish our interview with Kris Verbruggen, who will organize the show in Poland.
