A sample of Aa-lander Musikanten pictures through the years

Originally started as the Court Band of the ruling prince of carnival (1960), here the line up of March 1966 gathered around "Prince Dre the first".

Our name then was "Hofkapel de Pierewaaiers".
A single was made "Egerland heimatland" with on the B-side "Mexico".
It was recorded at our habitual pub with the recording equipment standing in the kitchen!

The name changed into Aa-lander Musikanten (translated as "musicians of the Aa grounds").
This line up is at a weir of the river Aa, near Bakel. (Postcard of 1972.)

Not to far into the eighties our first LP was recorded.(Cut-out of the sleeve)

Our 25th anniversary was the reason for this second LP (1985).
(Pictured at the -then still- green heart of Bakel)

For the Aa-landers the first CD recording was made in 1990 to remember our 30st anniversary.

Our group counted for 20 members at that time!

The Aa-lander Musikanten from Bakel, Netherlands in 1996.
Two members on this picture already appeared on the first photo of this page!

Our second CD (and newest uptil now) was put out in 1997. Only a few are available by now.
