Susies Haarlok

And who are you?
What did you do today?
Do you know your neighbours?
Was everything better in the early days?
The people. Henk and Ingrid. But also Arthur, Harald, Roel, Tjalling en Wessel - the musicians of Susies Haarlok. For Veldwerk ('Fieldwork') they interviewed people from the neighbourhood of the site they perform. The lyrics are derived from these conversations and -thus- vary eacht performance. Susies Haarlok wants to know: who are 'the' people? What do they do? How do they feel about each other? Veldwerk is a growing series of musical portraits of neighbours. Concert, performance and documentary in one.
