ABSOLUTE HOOGTEPUNTEN VAN CULTUREEL FESTIVAL: Vlietnieuws vroeg aan fotografen Charles Groeneveld, Ot Douwes  en Ap de Heus om de in hun ogen absolute hoogtepunten van het Cultureel Festival vast te leggen en om deze keuze te motiveren. Charles koos voor de foto van Dockter and the Biggs:  ,,Die band heeft een fenomenale afsluiting verzorgd van internationaal allure.”

“Ik ben hier in het Paard van Troje voor het concert van Dockter and the Biggs.
Nieuwe band hartstikke leuke muziek.
Wij gaan gezellig mee dansen, springen en zingen.”

Marie – Louise Beekman Midvliet tv en Den Haag FM before the concert

“Voor Midvliet tv/ en Den Haag fm heb ik het concert van Dockter and the Biggs mee mogen maken.
Een swingende band die bijzondere nummers nog specialer maakt door hun arrangementen.
Je kunt niet stil blijven staan op hun rockabilly, reggae, jazz, rock uitvoeringen. “

Marie – Louise Beekman Midvliet tv en Den Haag FM after the concert

“I’m very much honored, privileged and happy to be presenting this band tonight.”
Jon Tarifa (Guest Master of Ceremonies)

“Het was fantastisch. We hadden zo ontzettend veel plezier! Dit was echt een hoogtepunt!
Ik heb het Brian Setzer Orchestra jaren geleden gezien, but this (Dockter and the Biggs) is so clever.
It’s clever and fun and absolutely awesome.”

“Ik vond het heel leuk. Verassende klanken en ook het tempo, daar kan je gewoon niet stil blijven zitten.
Ik vond het geweldig. Heb ook het cdtje gekocht.”


“Genieten van echte muziek. Te gek.
Heerlijk bekende nummers in een ander jasje. Weer eens iets anders dan het bekende gestamp.”

Their personal performance experiences includes live performances at the Grammy Awards, multiple MTV Video Award shows, VH1 specials and numerous TV performances both in the USA and Europe. They collected an extremely talented and diverse group of international musicians, each bringing their own speciality and uniqueness to the group. Their original music will make you dance, sing along and jump with joy, as well as their versions of the greatest hits through the centuries put in a totally new and exciting way.
