Procol Harum fans' party at Zoetermeer (nr. Amsterdam) Holland

Pictures thanks to Uta Köhler

When BtP organises a Convention outside the webmasters' home countries of Norway and the UK, we're invariably indebted to the energy, skill and
local knowledge of friends in the appropriate locality. This excellent party couldn't have happened without two men ...

... Hans Tammes, who also sang in The Palers' Band (this is evidently Nothing That I Didn't Know) and played acoustic guitar ...

... and Procol scholar Frans Steensma, who gave the address, about the history of Procol in the Netherlands ... amazingly
thorough and intriguing, and now (of course!) extended by two concerts, Zoetermeer and Lelystad

Webmaster Jens, as ever, greeted the assembled company with his inimitable affability

And Roland did his bit too

Jan and Rob looked after live sound, with unfailing good cheer and professionalism. We're also very grateful to Rob for hosting Palers' Band
rehearsals for three days and nights in his studio in The Hague. Hope we didn't sour the ewes' milk nor traumatise the chickens, Rob!

'No, I don't do requests,' says Geoff Whitehorn's tee-shirt ... though in fact he did get up and play
Fires (Which Burnt Brightly) and Playmate of the Mouth, which was warmly appreciated
