Dutch DipDutch DIP was founded in 2005, when Duo Izvor (Netherlands) was asked to play at the Eastbourne International Folk Festival.To have some more power, Duo Izvor asked Linny on clarinet to join them and the duo became Duo Izvor Plus. At the first festival, people started to call them the Dutch DIP (and of course the DIP means Duo Izvor Plus), so now that has become their name. Dutch DIPs members are Bregje Tijman on accordion, Michiel Bakkes on percussion (tapan, darbuka, dohol and snaredrum) and Linny van der Weijden on clarinet and other flutes. Dutch DIP perform for dance lessons, workshops and dance bals, but also give short concerts. The Dutch DIP repertoire contains material from Eastern Europe -- Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Kroatia, Macedonia, Greece, Albania, Turkey and Armenia. Since Duo Izvor specialized in Bulgarian folkmusic, the main repertoire of Dutch DIP is Bulgarian. Dutch DIP has played several times on the Eastbourne Festival in England and also in Italy on various occasions.  photo: Dutch DIP  photo: Dutch DIP |
