About: Huub van der Lubbe

For forty years Huub van der Lubbe wrote the lyrics that made De Dijk great; now he takes the stage alone, delivering songs, poetry and stories with even more directness than the band allowed. Together with pianist Jan Robijns - his musical companion since 1976 - he tours with the show 'Neem het licht'.
