For no other reason than today I am feeling a bit reflective, and missing the city of Amsterdam so much (our current impecunious situation has meant we haven't been abroad since February last year!), to cheer myself up a bit my thoughts have turned to Holland's most spectacularly camp "super-group" De Toppers...
I have of course featured the superb entertainers Gerard Joling, René Froger and Gordon Heuckeroth several times before - here, here and here.
Here they are again performing to a packed stadium (in 2007), in suitably understated costumes as always, with their trademark traditional Hollandse Medley:
Their concerts on 17th, 18th and 19th May 2012 have already sold out the Amsterdam Arena. Oh, how I wish I were going...
