Douwe Bob made no secret of the fact that he was not satisfied with his eleventh place to Slow Down. ‘ You may best know that I quite baal ‘, he said on his arrival at Schiphol to the Dutch press.

Monthly he holds there The Fool Bar Sessions and some of the artists perform.
Cafés and music, all well and good. But the 24-year-old Dutchman also put himself in front, with such a name how could it be otherwise, the Dutch bobcampagne. In February he jumped with his guitar in the car and he went to thank some drivers with a song.
He occasionally some less fortunate in traffic. In July he was hit by an old-timer when he drove his scooter. His arm was in a cast and he ran on to his face, knee and hip injuries. Just after his return from Stockholm Douwe was also involved in a brawl in a café in Haarlem. There were some blows, but he was not injured.

Currently it seems his bar and The Fool Bar Sessions to focus. But hey, Douwe, when will that new single going on?
