Original BZN duo to perform in PE
JAN Keizer and Anny Schilder, the original voices of the legendary Dutch ensemble BZN, are coming to Port Elizabeth for a one-night only concert next month.
The Boardwalk convention centre will host the concert, which will celebrate the band’s 40th anniversary in music, on November 27.
Keizer and Schilder toured South Africa last year, but cancelled their Port Elizabeth and East London shows last time around, so for those who missed out then this is an opportunity to reconnect with the band.
BZN will take fans on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, performing the evergreen songs that made them famous.
These include, among others, Yeppa, Tonight, Wheels On Fire, Amore, Waltzing Maria, Le Légionnaire, Over The Hills, La France, Chrystal Gazer, If I Say The Words, The Old Calahan, Blue Eyes and the hit A Young Girl’s Dream.
The band was founded in 1965 in the Dutch town of Volendam, making music under the name of BZN, which is short for “Band Zonder Naam”.
Eleven years later they had their big break with the number one song, Mon Amour.
During their illustrious career, BZN received numerous gold and platinum awards for their work and are still as popular among fans in South Africa today as they were in the early days.
Tickets are on sale at Computicket and range in price from R175 to R325 per person.
