Move over, Ms L!

Hi all, wondering why you are looking at this jumbled up page? This is due to the fact that Facebook didn't like our url since it starts with wog, so we have been forced to move the blog. This was some time ago, and we have placed a script which would automatically send you to our new location. Obviously, this hasn't worked for all of you, since we have just finished moderating some of your comments which appeared on this site recently, and not on our new (and improved!) site. So what we're saying is head on over to our new site, and update your bookmarks!

The Beatles in the Netherlands

"Yeah! yeah! yeah!: Twee dagen met The Beatles in de Polder" is a new book featuring Eddy Posthuma de Boer's photos of the Beatles in the Netherlands.
On June 4, 1964 the first Beatles World Tour started in Denmark. After that, the band came for two days to visit the Netherlands, before travelling to the Far East and Oceania. The group was not complete, as Ringo Starr was ill, and Jimmie Nicol was the replacement drummer. Still, the Netherlands was captured by Beatlemania. There was total madness in the country. Sixties Photographer Eddy Posthuma de Boer was present and took some ​​legendary photos that only recently have come to light. You can see some of the photos here.
The 56 page book also features an introduction by Hugh Skipper and text by Cees Nooteboom.
