Meet the Bruges department of The Official de portables Fanclub. These are the guys who booked us for the show with De Kreuners and friggin’ Dana Winner. Eugene, Prosper, Philemont and friends have been a die-hard fans since the zon-i-bos tape came out.
Theogene Debruyne (1st person on the left) remembers the first gig of pre-portables band Sorbitol: “I remember it like it was yesterday. It was on my 98th birthday. I didn’t even have to wear my hearing-aid, Wio was drumming so loud”.
Prosper Dacquin (1st on the right), president of Koninklijk Comité voor initiatief van Brugge (that’s how they named their fanclub) says he looks forward to the show on the 20th of July. “If only Heinrich Gimly could be there”. Alas Gimly, the short german-norwegian de portables fanatic died last week due to the injuries of a shrapnel.
