Herman van Veen (1945) is a Dutch writer, artist, composer, songwriter and violinist. He made dozens of comic and clownish music theatre shows, also in Germany, France and around the world (he plays in 5 languages). He released over 180 cd's, over 20 dvd's, wrote over 70 books, wrote movie scripts (directed two himself) and two television series.

Some of his most well-known songs are: 'Susanne' (1969, translation); 'Windmills of my mind'/'Cirkels' (1969, translation); 'Out of my way'/'Opzij opzij opzij' (1979); 'Radio 3'/'Hilversum III' (1984); 'Anne' (1986); 'Today I am so happy'/'Ik ben vandaag zo vrolijk' (1986, for the series Alfred Kwak); and 'To see a friend cry'/'Een vriend zien huilen' (1987, translation).

Herman van Veen won eight Edison Music Awards and in 2010 an Edison Oeuvre Award and many more awards in Germany, France and in New York.

The song 'Long lasting love'/'Liefde van later' (1969, in French: 'Les vieux amants') was written by the famous Belgium singer Jacques Brel (1929-1978). The song is still voted every year into the Top 2000 (traditionally broadcasted on the radio in the last week of the year), as high as place 174/2000.

Some of Jacques Brel's greatest hits were: 'Ne me quitte pas'/'If you go away' (1959); 'Marieke' (1961); 'Le Plat Pays'/'My flat low land' (1962); Bruxelles/'Brussels' (1963); 'Amsterdam' (1964); and 'Voir un ami pleurer'/'To see a friend cry' (1977).

Lennaert Nijgh (1945-2002) was a lyricist. He was the regular lyrics writer for Boudewijn de Groot, with hits like 'Testament'; 'Drowned butterfly'; 'Eva'; 'Prikkebeen'; Jan Klaassen the trumpeter; and 'Evening'.
