About

Het Goede Doel is a Dutch pop band from Utrecht, founded in 1979 by lyricist Henk Westbroek and composer Henk Temming, with guitarist Sander van Herk completing the core trio. Their 1982 debut album 'België' produced enduring hits including 'België (Is er leven op Pluto?)' and 'Vriendschap'. After disbanding in 1991, a reunion in 2001 and a second run from 2008 to 2015, the band returned to the stage as Het Goede Doel Revival - with Westbroek joining drummer Toni Peroni and keyboardist René Meister.
