 The international band
In 1994 Kleintje
Pils thrilled the entire ice-skating rink at the World Speed
Skating Championships in Sweden. The same happened in Baselga
(Italy, 1995 and 2001) in Inzell (Germany, 1996) Warsaw (Poland,
1997) Nagano (Japan, 1997, 1998 and 2000) Helsinki (Finland,
1998), Calgary (Canada, 1999 and 2003) Milwaukee (USA, 2000),
Hamar (Norway, 1999, 2000 and 2002), Budapest (Hungary 2001),
Berlin (Germany 2003) and Salt Lake City (USA, 2001 and 2002).
One of the most successful music trips was undoubtedly the World
Cup USA in 1994, when this popular band performed every day in
front of an international audience of many tens of thousands
of fans. In 1991 the Nagasaki Holland Village Co. in Japan invited
the band Kleintje Pils to perform on behalf of a cultural exchange
with regard to the Holland promotion for a six-week period. A
unique trip which undoubtedly made a profound impression on the
Japanese public. In 1993 this was followed by a new invitation
for a two-week Japanese Tour, to perform in the replica of the
Dutch city 'Huis Ten Bosch', in the land of the Rising Sun. In
1997 the Japan Skating Federation invited Kleintje Pils to perform
in Nagano during the World Speed Skating Championships. Not only
the Organizing Committee but also Japanese TV-stations and international
newspapers were impressed about this exiting Dutch band Kleintje
Pils. The honorable invitation for performances during the Olympic
Winter Games 1998 in Nagano crowns it all. It was great. In Australia
Kleintje Pils have had many successful performances during the
Olympic Games in Sydney 2000. The band appeared on the St. Peters
Square in front of the Pope John Paul II in Rome, during the
celebration of the Holy Year 2000. In 2001 Kleintje Pils performed
at the celebrations of our National Day in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
in the United Arab Emirates. Recently the band was honored guest
at the 2002 winter Olympics in Sat Lake City where Kleintje Pils
performed every day for many tens of thousands enthusiastic spectators
at several parts of the Games. |
