First .... sorry for keeping this site unawered for so long .... :-( Last september i was contacted by Kristoffer Gildenlöw (a.o. Pain of Salvation & Kayak), for his project "Breaking the Chains". Breaking The Chains is a project established to support the Dutch division of Bikers Against Child Abuse (B.A.C.A.) in their great and important work. I am very honoured and proud to be asked to contribute to this great initiative! Some of the (great) names featured in this project (so far) are: Adrian van den Berg (Vandenberg, Whitesnake, Vandenberg's Moonkings); Ton Scherpenzeel (Kayak); Ian Parry (Consortium project); John Jaycee Cuijpers (Praying Mantis, Ayreon); Ed Warby (Ayreon, Vuur); Collin Leijenaar (Kayak, Affector); Peter Vink (Q65, Knight Area); Ruud Jolie (Within Temptation, For all we know); Kristoffer Gildenlöw (Pain of Salvation, Kayak, For all we know); Timo Soomers (Delain); Jan Bechtum (Picture) and many more ... I can't wait to do my thing for this project, at this moment this is all i know ... Keep ya posted ! Here's my introduction on the tube ...! INFO: Breaking The Chains is a charity rock project, uniting more than 40 of the best Dutch rockstars, to record an album to support Bikers Against Child Abuse. www.breakingthechains.nl www.twitter.com/BTC_Projects www.instagram.com/breakingthechains Merry X-mas all .... and the best whishes for 2018 ....!!! Harry. Early 2015 The Band the Lizzer stopped excisting, the spirit was gone for most of us, we had a great time however and i will treasure the memories and experiences with this band. Also there was Bad CoH with Ian Parry (a.o. Vengeance, Consortium Project) on vocals, Ernst van Ee (a.o. Highway chile, Helloise, Vengeance) on drums, the late great (and my very dear friend ... ) Mario Roelofsen (1963 - 2015) on guitars and me on bass. It was a Bad Company / The Free (Paul Rodgers) tribute band. We did some awesome gig's but unfortunately the band was ended in 2014. The Minor Giant debut album "On the road" was released in the summer of 2014, and was received worldwide with nothing but positive reviews! As you all might know i left this band a year before ... because for me this was just a project, as it was for the rest of the band meant as a band, but we had a great time and recording the album was a blast! With John Rijsdijk we had the band Vega, only one gig was done with this band. Besides John and me there were Joop Kemperman (The Lizzer) and Dick van der Kaaij on keyboards. Vega was a band formed around the guitar virtuoso John Rijsdijk. We played metal in the style of Yngwie J. Malmsteen. It was a great chalenge for me to do these songs. In the summer of 2014 i had some injuries in my hands (Artrosis) which forced me to stop playing for a few months and permanently stop playing the high level music of Vega ... After the summer i was asked to do the basses for the Alanis Morissette tribute band Alanis! with Anne van Buuren on vocals, Luca Giordano (Steeler) on guitars, Lennart Veldhoen (Steeler) on drums, Jeroen Allart on keyboards and me on basses. We had some awesome gig's so far and hope to continu this in 2016 ...!! Check some links to the tube, of the mentioned bands in the framework on the left, for some vids .... Whishing you all a very merry Xmas and a superb and musical (and off course healthy ......! ) 2016 ....!!! Harry. If all is well the album will be released early 2016, who that singer is ... haha .. i'll anounce that later. ;-) It was hard work to get the lines we wanted them to be, but afterall the result is quite great ....! I can't wait for the album to be realesed. Harry. I cannot explain my sadness and only whish to speak my sincere condolances to his girlfriend Jolanda and his family .... it's an almost unbearable pain they must feel with this great loss. We met 38 yrs ago, at highschool and became instandly friends, we not only shared the same passion for music like Deep Purple etc. and making music, but also had the same sence of humor. Throughout the years we had many cool bands and gigs ... and loads of fun .... Mario was an outstanding guitarplayer and musician for that also he will be missed .... i am very proud to have known him for so long and call him my friend. I will miss our chats our long talks about music and everything ... we had a strong bond ... he was a great and very kind personality. I will miss you my friend .....!!! ..... but we'll meet again ..... Harry.  Some other guitar heroes playing that night are Theo van Niel jr. (Blues Hunters) and my friend from The Lizzer Febby Tasiran. To me it's a big challenge to accompany John! Click here for a clip by John. Hope to see you there!! ... My last contrubution will be at the CD release of the Minor Giant debut album (date and place T.B.A.). I had a blast playing with those enthussiastic and talented musicians, but it was a project to me from the start ... so now it's time to say goodbey after the CD release. Wishing my new friends of M.G. all the luck, but most important loads of fun with the continuation of this band, ... i am convinced they will do great!!! Stay tuned for more info. Sexy Blues (incl. Bass intro) Sorry .. :-( To me Don Airey is a hero, so i'm very proud and really looking forward to it! The line-up with Minor Giant, Galahad(UK) and Wolverine(SE) had to be slightly changed (last minute) due to illnes of Wolverine leadsinger Stefan Zäll. Dutch Kingfisher Sky was found to be replacing Wolverine and to close the festival. The Minor Giant debut could not be more succesful and better!!! ... What a great and warm response by the audience! But also on stage there was some party going on, i really enjoyed the enthoussiasm of the whole band, it lifted me up! Track no 6 will be recorded somewhere in the autumn. The release date for the album (recorded at studio The Pitt in Boskoop, NL) is scheduled mid 2013 .... Our 2 setter with a mix of own compositions and covers was well received by the audience. This first gig was both fun and educatiuonal for us and therefore tastes for more! Stay tuned for more info. The first radioshow with the anouncement of the bandname was last sunday at "SymfoZone" hosted by Minor Giant additional keyboardplayer Jos Heijmans. We're now about to rehearse for the first recording sessions for the forthcoming debut album "On the road" which is scheduled to be released somewhere after this years summer. We'll keep you posted. Progmotion is initiated by Dutch fans of progressive en symfonic rock, founded to promote progressive rock in the Netherlands. Man, i love the internet era ....!! Stay tuned for more info. We had some great rehearsals, and it turned out we had a lot in common concerning writing songs etc.! So now it's time to start writing new material in order to climb on stage asap!!! Stay tuned to get the latest updates, for we are very eager to hit the stages! This gig will take place on friday dec. 30th, if you'd like to join us this night we advice you to be there early, for it seems to become very crowded and thus a very very big party!!!! Hope to see you than! We are realy looking forward to it! The RockenJagers. We're now exploring ideas etc. but all seems very positive so far! Hope to bring more (positive) news very soon!

The band (no name yet) is: Rindert Lammers - Keyboards Rene Olsson - Vocals Jordi Repkes - Guitars / Vocals Roy Post - Drums Jos Heijmans - Additional keyboards Harry Den Hartog - Basses Looking forward to the rehearsals. I'll keep you posted! Last night i uploaded the "Gear" page, it's not the lay-out i was thinking of, so i'll have to change a little, but for now i'm satisfied with this update. Harry. I'm realy proud on the result and my contribution (7 tracks), the album is called: "sevEre dAmage" and you can order it using this link. Fred Westra is a very gifted gitarist / composer Holland, he realy got me going further than i ever thought was possible for me! If you like instrumental music with guitarsolo's who (no lie) do compete with guitarheroes like Vai, Satriani or Malmsteen, than this album is ABSOLUTELY a "must have"!!! And besides that, you can hear me play ... ;-) Here is the direct link to the tube. You may also find it here on my site in the menubar under [Media > Audio / Video] Hope you'll like it! Cheers, Harry. Here's the direct link. Right now i'm awaiting a first meeting with a band, from all over the Netherlands. For a project with the talented Rindert Lammers, it's exciting to start new things! The releasedate of the debut album "Severe Damage" of Fred Westra is June 17 or 19!!! For me the honor to contribute on 7 tracks! I'm realy thrilled for the final result ... can't wait! Harry. Recently I decided to leave PBII for a.o. reason musical differences, so now i'm in search for musicians or a band (any project or CD recording is also just fine with me!!). I'm looking for serious and experienced musicians who are not egocentric, real band players prepared to give space to one and another in order to make the best of the band and bring up the best musician in each other. It will be rock based, i will not specify any further, for that will be found when the band is completed with the right persons. If you are or know someone or a band, searching for a very experienced bassplayer, please contact me! Cheers, Harry.
