Gert Verhulst has brought on countless hits with Samson & Gert, Kabouter Plop and K3, but recognition was not forthcoming, according to the Studio 100 boss. And that while he thinks that the studio has always tried to deliver good quality things.
In conversation with The Telegraph Verhulst lists the names of well-known musicians who collaborated with Studio 100. “Herman van Veen. Ivo de Wijs, Bart Peeters, Robert Long, Stef Bos, Frank Boeijen. These are all top songs, but at that time they did not receive the recognition they received. I thought. “
Twenty years later, during the Throwback Thursdayconcerts in 2019, the presenter and television producer did receive that recognition. “When you are on stage twenty years later and notice that the audience is singing along word for word, it is such a goosebumps moment of: ‘Ha ha, you see!'”
Verhulst announced in 2019 that he was going to stop as “Samson’s owner”, with his daughter Marie taking over from him. However, the farewell concerts are still not completed due to corona. “The intention was to shut down definitively on April 19, but that has been turned upside down by corona. I get the feeling so quietly that people think: ‘Has Gert not stopped yet?’ That’s how I become the man of the eternal comebacks, but we still have 45 shows to cash in. “
